INSIGHTS INTO CROSSREACTIVITY IN HUMAN ALLORECOGNITION: THE STRUCTURE OF HLA-B35011 PRESENTING AN EPITOPE DERIVED FROM CYTOCHROME P450.

Overview

Virus-specific T cell populations have been implicated in, allo-recognition. The subdominant T cell receptor JL12 recognizes both, HLA-B*0801 presenting the Epstein-Barr virus-derived peptide FLRGRAYGL and, also HLA-B*3501 presenting the cytochrome p450 self peptide KPIVVLHGY., This cross-reactivity could promote the rejection of HLA-B*3501-positive, cells in Epstein-Barr virus-exposed HLA-B*0801 recipients. LC13, the, dominant TCR against the HLA-B*0801:FLRGRAYGL complex, fails to recognize, HLA-B*3501:KPIVVLHGY. We report the 1.75-Angstrom resolution crystal, structure of the human allo-ligand HLA-B*3501:KPIVVLHGY. Similarities, between this structure and that of HLA-B*0801:FLRGRAYGL may facilitate, cross-recognition by JL12. Moreover, the elevated peptide position in, HLA-B*3501:KPIVVLHGY would provide steric hindrance to LC13, preventing it, from interacting in the manner in which it interacts with, HLA-B*0801:FLRGRAYGL. These findings are relevant to understanding the, basis of T cell cross-reactivity in allo-recognition, optimal transplant, donor-recipient matching and developing specific molecular inhibitors of, allo-recognition.
