Overview

HLA class I polymorphism creates diversity in epitope specificity and T, cell repertoire. We show that HLA polymorphism also controls the choice of, Ag presentation pathway. A single amino acid polymorphism that, distinguishes HLA-B*4402 (Asp116) from B*4405 (Tyr116) permits B*4405 to, constitutively acquire peptides without any detectable incorporation into, the transporter associated with Ag presentation (TAP)-associated peptide, loading complex even under conditions of extreme peptide starvation. This, mode of peptide capture is less susceptible to viral interference than the, conventional loading pathway used by HLA-B*4402 that involves assembly of, class I molecules within the peptide loading complex. Thus, B*4402 and, B*4405 are at opposite extremes of a natural spectrum in HLA class I, dependence on the PLC for Ag presentation. These findings unveil a new, layer of MHC polymorphism that affects the generic pathway of Ag loading, revealing an unsuspected evolutionary trade-off in selection for optimal, HLA class I loading versus effective pathogen evasion.
