HLA-A2 antigen mutants were obtained previously from the B lymphoblastoid cell line T5-1 by mutagenesis followed by immunoselection. Here we present biochemical studies of one particular mutant, clone 8.14.1. These cells synthesize two forms of HLA-A2: a minor form, which remains cell-associated at all times, and an abundant form, which is secreted. The former appears by SDS-PAGE to be slightly larger than T5-1 HLA-A2, whereas the latter appears to be 4000 to 5000 daltons smaller. In vitro translation and in vivo pulse-chase studies suggest that these species are not related to each other by post-translational processing. Proteolytic digestion studies localize the resulting structural alteration in the mobility difference between wild-type and secreted HLA-A2 to a region near the carboxy terminus of the HLA-A2 heavy chain; however, their extreme carboxy termini appear similar, if not identical. We suggest that the secreted form may result from a pattern of RNA splicing in which the exon encoding the hydrophobic, membrane-spanning region is frequently deleted. 相似文献

Analysis of mouse cDNA clones has led to the identification of a class I (H-2)-related gene that encodes a truncated transplantation-like antigen. Unlike the products of the class I genes (H-2K, H-2D, and H2-L), which are synthesized and displayed on the surface of all cells, the class I-related gene product is expressed only in liver cells and is secreted. The region of the secreted molecule corresponding to the extracellular domain of the membrane-bound class I antigens shows unusual amino acid substitutions at positions otherwise invariably conserved. There is also loss of a glycosylation site that is used in all class I antigens. Within the region corresponding to the transmembrane domain are multiple nonconservative substitutions of hydrophobic residues, alterations that render the encoded protein incapable of inserting into the plasma membrane. Toward the end of the same domain, the polypeptide chain terminates abruptly and thus lacks the intracellular domain present on all class I antigens. A candidate for this secreted molecule, detected using various heteroantisera against class I antigens, has been identified. A potential role for this serum protein in mediating active tolerance is discussed. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of HLA class I antigens has been studied in a variant B-LCLxT-LCL hybrid, 174XCEM.T2. This cell line encodes HLA-A2 and -B5, but expresses only small amounts of A2 antigen and undetectable B5 antigen at the cell surface due to a mutation inactivating a trans-acting regulatory gene encoded within the class II region of the human major histocompatibility complex. Northern blot analysis with HLA-A- and HLA-B-specific probes shows that 174XCEM.T2 synthesizes quantities of A and B locus mRNA comparable with its class I antigen-positive parent cell line. Immune precipitation studies indicate that 174XCEM.T2 synthesizes normal HLA heavy chains and beta 2-microglobulin which fail to form dimers. The heavy chains are N-glycosylated normally, but processing of the glycan to the complex form does not occur. In addition, free heavy chains in this cell line are not phosphorylated. Thus, the majority of class I heavy chains in 174XCEM.T2 do not combine with beta 2-microglobulin, and are not processed or transported to the cell surface. As both subunits are synthesized in normal amounts, we propose that an additional molecule absent from 174XCEM.T2 and encoded by an HLA-linked gene is necessary for efficient assembly of class I antigen subunits. 相似文献

The DNA sequence of the Q10 genes appears to be highly conserved amongst strains of mice and has only been found to be transcribed in the liver. An examination of the nucleotide sequence of the exon that normally encodes the transmembrane domain of class I molecules suggested that the Q10 gene encodes a secreted protein. We have established this by showing that L cells transformed with an expression vector containing the Q10 gene secrete a class I molecule which was identified with an antiserum raised against a peptide predicted by the Q10 transmembrane exon. Both the L cell-derived Q10 molecule and a class I protein immunoprecipitated from serum with this anti-peptide antiserum have mol. wts. of approximately 38 000; the Q10 molecule secreted by L cells is heterogeneous in mol. wt. This heterogeneity was drastically reduced after endoglycosidase F treatment, suggesting that Q10 molecules secreted into the serum by the liver may be glycosylated differently from those secreted by L cells. Endoglycosidase F treatment of both the L cell and serum forms of the soluble molecule yielded two products with mol. wts. of approximately 32 000 and 35 000; this is consistent with the observation that the predicted Q10 protein sequence has two potential glycosylation sites. In contrast to previous published results, the Q10 molecule reacted with rabbit anti-H-2 antisera which is consistent with its greater than 80% homology to the classical transplantation antigens. 相似文献

The heavy chain of the HLA-A2 antigen is phosphorylated by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase at two serine residues of the intracellular region. Limited proteolysis was performed on purified [32P]HLA-A2 antigens in order to define the sites of phosphorylation. Both of the phosphorylated serine residues are located in the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain; one is encoded by exon 5, while the other is encoded by exon 6. The phosphoserine encoded by exon 5 is part of the conserved sequence Arg-Arg-Lys-Ser-Ser. This protein sequence contains the proper arrangement of amino acids for recognition and phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. In the murine class I antigens (H-2), exon 5 encodes a similar sequence of basic residues followed by one intervening residue and a threonine rather than a serine residue in the last amino acid position. A composite figure is presented that compares the carboxyl-terminal sequences of human and murine class I antigens and illustrates the known sites of phosphorylation recognized by various kinases. Each site of phosphorylation in the carboxyl terminus is contained within a conserved protein sequence encoded by one of the three exons. A separation and preservation of unique sites of phosphorylation could explain why there is segmentation in the genomic arrangement of class I molecules. 相似文献

The glycoprotein E19, encoded in early region 3 of adenovirus-2, forms complexes with major histocompatibility complex class I antigens. As a result of the complex formation, the intracellular transport of the class I antigens is abrogated, and adenovirus-infected cells display gradually diminishing quantities of cell surface-expressed class I molecules. To assess whether the E19 protein interacts equally well with different class I antigens, the associations between the viral protein and HLA-A2 and HLA-B7 antigens have been estimated. By infecting transfected HeLa cells expressing various amounts of HLA-A2 and HLA-B7 molecules, respectively, with various infectious doses of adenovirus-2, experimental conditions could be established that allowed quantitative estimates of the interactions to be determined. It was found that HLA-A2 molecules and the E19 protein interacts with a binding constant that is more than twice as high as that for HLA-B7 antigens and the viral protein. It is suggested that the pathogenicity of the virus may be dependent on the HLA-type of the infected individual. 相似文献

Regulation of HLA class I and class II antigen expression was studied in hybrids of human T and B lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL). The T-LCL CEMR.3 expresses no HLA class II antigens. It expresses little total HLA class I antigen and no HLA-B antigens. The B-LCL 721.174 is a radiation-induced variant immunoselected for loss of class II antigen expression. In addition to showing a deletion of all HLA-DR and DQ structural genes, 721.174 expresses no HLA-B antigens and a decreased level of HLA-A antigen compared with the parental cell line. A hybrid of 721.174 and CEMR.3 expresses class II antigens encoded by CEMR.3. Increased expression of HLA class I antigens encoded by both 721.174 and CEMR.3 was also observed. Specifically, the previously undetectable HLA-B5 and HLA-Bw6 antigens encoded by 721.174 and CEMR.3, respectively, were present on the hybrid. Increased expression of the HLA-A2 antigen encoded by 721.174 was also observed. An immunoselected variant of the hybrid lacking both CEMR.3-derived copies of chromosome 6 lost expression of the HLA-B5 antigen encoded by 721.174 and expressed a decreased amount of HLA-A2. From these data, we infer that two complementary trans-acting factors mediate enhanced expression of HLA class I antigens in the hybrid. One of these factors is provided by a gene located on chromosome 6, derived from CEMR.3. The second factor, introduced by 721.174, is the gene previously postulated to induce expression of CEMR.3-encoded class I antigens in hybrids of CEMR.3 with B-LCL. 相似文献

The early transmembrane glycoprotein E19 of adenovirus-2 binds to class I antigens of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The association is initiated in the endoplasmic reticulum of infected cells and abrogates the intracellular transport of the class I molecules. To examine which parts of the E19 molecule are responsible for the association with the class I antigens and which parts confine the protein to the endoplasmic reticulum we have constructed a series of mutated E19 genes, which have been expressed in an improved mammalian expression vector. By various manipulations the membrane anchoring and the cytoplasmic domains were removed from the protein. The biosynthesis of the mutant protein was examined. All mutant proteins were secreted from the cells suggesting that the transmembrane and/or cytoplasmic portions of the E19 molecule are responsible for its confinement to the endoplasmic reticulum. The ability to associate with class I antigens was retained by the lumenal domain of the E19 protein. 相似文献

HLA class I alleles containing premature termination codons (PTCs) are increasingly being found. To understand their effects on MHC class I expression, HLA-A*2402 mutants containing PTCs were transfected into class I-deficient cells, and expression of HLA-A mRNA and protein was determined. In exons 2, 3, and 4, and in the 5' part of exon 5, PTCs reduced mRNA levels by up to 90%, whereas in the 3' part of exon 5 and in exons 6 and 7 they had little effect. Transition in the extent of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay occurred within a 48-nt segment of exon 5, placed 58 nt upstream from the exon 5/exon 6 junction. This transition did not conform to the positional rule obeyed by other genes, which predicted it to be approximately 50-55 nt upstream of the exon 7/exon 8 junction and thus placing it in exon 6. Mutants containing extra gene segments showed the difference is caused by the small size of exons 5 and 6, which renders them invisible to the surveillance machinery. For the protein, a transition from secretion to membrane association occurs within a 26-nt segment of exon 5, 17 nt upstream of the exon 5/exon 6 junction. Premature termination in exon 5 can produce secreted and membrane-associated HLA-A variants expressed at high levels. 相似文献

Three monoclonal antibodies react with the T cell receptor on the tumor line HPB-ALL and in addition with 3 to 13% of human peripheral blood T cells of normal donors. These antibodies are shown to react with an epitope encoded by the V beta 5 family of T cell receptor beta-chain variable region gene segments. Cells expressing V beta 5 gene segments can have cytotoxic or helper function, be of the T4+ or T8+ phenotype, and have specificity for either class I or class II major histocompatibility complex alloantigens. Seven T cell clones were generated, which express V beta 5 and are specific for the HLA-A2 molecule. With the use of these clones, we illustrate how isoelectric focusing can be used to analyze T cell receptor alpha- and beta-chain structure. The seven clones recognize five distinct conformational determinants on HLA-A2. They procure different binding sites by the use of different alpha-chains, J beta sequences, or both. 相似文献

Recent studies have demonstrated a specific membrane association between the polymorphic class I antigens of the MHC and the insulin receptor (IR). In some reports, variation in IR binding is attributed to the class I phenotype. To extend these observations, we have examined whether MHC class I products influence IR function, in particular, high affinity ligand-specific binding. Using two independent methods, we have compared IR affinity and density on a human B-lymphoblastoid cell line expressing HLA-A, -B products vs a null mutant and a set of transfectants where HLA-A3, -B7, or -Bw58 expression has been restored through gene transfer. The results from radioreceptor assay and RIA measuring IR binding and expression indicate that although there is a decrease in high affinity insulin binding sites in the HLA-A, -B null mutant, ligand binding cannot be restored in the transfectants expressing HLA-A or -B alleles. We conclude that the MHC class I products do not determine the insulin-binding phenotype of the cells examined in this study. Alternatively, we propose that insulin receptor heterogeneity in affinity and density may be influenced by other undetermined factors inherent to clonally expanded cells, thereby complicating dissection of IR/MHC interactions. 相似文献

The RT1.A (H-2K,D type) class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens of the rat are well recognized as membrane-bound glycoproteins. In this report, we demonstrate that liver and kidney in the DA rat strain contain large amounts of a water-soluble RTl. A class I molecule with a discrete heavy chain approximately 5 kd smaller than the membrane-bound form. An identical molecule could be identified in DA rat serum. This small class I molecule carries all of the polymorphic antigenic determinants of the RT1.Aav1 class I molecule. The water-soluble molecule is readily denatured in its pure form when frozen and thawed, but this does not occur when it is mixed with serum, presumably because of a stabilizing interaction with one or more carrier proteins. The half-life of the class I molecule in serum was measured to be approximately 1.5 h. The LEW rat strain produced detectable but substantially smaller amounts of water-soluble RT1.A molecules. Our studies indicate that RT1.Aav1 class I MHC antigens are synthesized and presumably secreted in a smaller water-soluble form by liver, kidney, and possibly other tissues under physiological conditions, a point of con-siderable interest in view of the immunoregulatory functions of the membrane-bound forms of these molecules. 相似文献

Amyloid precursor-like protein 2 (APLP2) is a ubiquitously expressed protein. The previously demonstrated functions for APLP2
include binding to the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule H-2Kd and down regulating its cell surface expression. In this study, we have investigated the interaction of APLP2 with the human
leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecule in human tumor cell lines. APLP2 was readily detected in pancreatic, breast, and
prostate tumor lines, although it was found only in very low amounts in lymphoma cell lines. In a pancreatic tumor cell line,
HLA class I was extensively co-localized with APLP2 in vesicular compartments following endocytosis of HLA class I molecules.
In pancreatic, breast, and prostate tumor lines, APLP2 was bound to the HLA class I molecule. APLP2 was found to bind to HLA-A24,
and more strongly to HLA-A2. Increased expression of APLP2 resulted in reduced surface expression of HLA-A2 and HLA-A24. Overall,
these studies demonstrate that APLP2 binds to the HLA class I molecule, co-localizes with it in intracellular vesicles, and
reduces the level of HLA class I molecule cell surface expression. 相似文献
