Invariant chain made in Escherichia coli has an exposed N-terminal segment that blocks antigen binding to HLA-DR1 and a trimeric C-terminal segment that binds empty HLA-DR1.
Invariant chain (Ii), a membrane glycoprotein, binds class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) glycoproteins, probably via its class II-associated Ii peptide (CLIP) segment, and escorts them toward antigen-containing endosomal compartments. We find that a soluble, trimeric ectodomain of Ii expressed and purified from Escherichia coli blocks peptide binding to soluble HLA-DR1. Proteolysis ...
متن کاملIdentification of HLA-DR1 beta chain residues critical for binding staphylococcal enterotoxins A and E
Superantigens are thought to make external contacts with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and with the V beta portion of a T cell antigen receptor (TCR), thereby stimulating entire families of T cells. The precise mapping of superantigen binding sites on class II molecules may provide valuable information on how TCR and MHC molecules interact. Two bacterial superantigen...
متن کاملSelective release of some invariant chain-derived peptides from HLA-DR1 molecules at endosomal pH
The predominant peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules expressed on human B cells are derived from a relatively limited number of self proteins. To determine whether any of the prebound self peptides might be released in endosomes during recycling, water-soluble HLA-DR1 molecules were incubated with a high affinity synthetic peptide at pH 4.0 and 7.0 at 37 degrees...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of HLA-DR1 Restricted Peptides Derived from Leishmania major gp63 Using FVB/N-DR1 Transgenic Mouse Model
BACKGROUND Leishmaniasis is a worldwide disease prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical countries. In the present study the immunogenicity of three human HLA-DR1 restricted peptides derived from L. major gp63 protein was evaluated using FVB/N-DR1 transgenic mouse model. METHODS The immunity generated by three MHC class II - restricted peptides with the sequence of AARLVRLAAAGAAVT (AAR), AAPLVR...
متن کاملIdentification of the Lateral Interaction Surfaces of Human Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-DM with HLA-DR1 by Formation of Tethered Complexes That Present Enhanced HLA-DM Catalysis
Human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DM is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-like protein that catalyzes exchange of antigenic peptides from MHC class II molecules. To investigate the molecular details of this catalysis we created four covalent complexes between HLA-DM and the MHC class II allele DR1. We introduced a disulfide bond between the naturally occurring cysteine bet...
