Proteasome-independent HLA-B27 ligands arise mainly from small basic proteins.
Many of the constitutive peptide ligands of HLA-B27, a molecule strongly associated with spondyloarthritis, are proteasome-independent. Stable isotope tagging, mass spectrometry, and epoxomicin-mediated inhibition were used to determine their percentage, structural features, and parental proteins. Of 104 molecular species examined, 29.8% were proteasome-independent, paralleling the level of HLA...
متن کاملCharacterization of a proteasome and TAP-independent presentation of intracellular epitopes by HLA-B27 molecules.
Nascent HLA-class I molecules are stabilized by proteasome-derived peptides in the ER and the new complexes proceed to the cell surface through the post-ER vesicles. It has been shown, however, that less stable complexes can exchange peptides in the Trans Golgi Network (TGN). HLA-B27 are the most studied HLA-class I molecules due to their association with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Chimeric p...
متن کاملHLA-B27: what's new?
The HLA-B27 molecule is one of the most fascinating in medicine. Its contribution to the aetiopathogenesis of SpA and other diseases, and its protective action in certain infections, continue to challenge our understanding of its immunobiology and physiological roles. Animal studies have helped to cast light on ways in which HLA-B27 exerts its effects. Subtle variations in structure and behavio...
متن کاملHLA-B27 and Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease with potential disabling outcomes. Clinically, patients presented with inflammatory lower back pain, enthesis and alternated buttock pain (van der Linden & van der Heijde, 1998). Bernard Corner (16661698) was the first physician who published the clinical features of AS in his medical thesis (Baker & Weisman, 2006). In the late 19th ...
متن کاملComplement activation and HLA-B27.
The efficiency of complement activation was studied in sera from HLA-B27 positive and negative subjects (27 with previous yersinia arthritis and 35 controls). Activation of complement with zymosan induced higher mean levels of the anaphylatoxin C3a in HLA-B27 positive sera (mean (SD) 7.40 (1.66) mg/l) than in HLA-B27 negative sera (6.41 (1.79) mg/l). Similarly, higher levels of C3d,g, another C...
