Objective
Dissimilarities in antigen processing and presentation are known to contribute to the differential association of HLA-B*27 subtypes with the inflammatory rheumatic disease ankylosing spondylitis (AS). In support of this notion, previous x-ray crystallographic data showed that peptides can be displayed by almost identical HLA-B*27 molecules in a subtype-dependent manner, allowing cytotoxic T lymphocytes to distinguish between these subtypes. For example, a human self-peptide derived from vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor type 1 (pVIPR; sequence RRKWRRWHL) is displayed in a single conformation by B*27:09 (which is not associated with AS), while B*27:05 (which is associated with AS) presents the peptide in a dual binding mode. In addition, differences in conformational flexibility between these subtypes might affect their stability or antigen presentation capability. This study was undertaken to investigate B*27:04 and B*27:06, another pair of minimally distinct HLA-B*27 subtypes, to assess whether dual peptide conformations or structural dynamics play a role in the initiation of AS.Methods
Using x-ray crystallography, we determined the structures of the pVIPR-B*27:04 and pVIPR-B*27:06 complexes and used isotope-edited infrared (IR) spectroscopy to probe the dynamics of these HLA-B*27 subtypes.Results
As opposed to B*27:05 and B*27:09, B*27:04 (which is associated with AS) displays pVIPR conventionally and B*27:06 (which is not associated with AS) presents the peptide in a dual conformation. Comparison of the 4 HLA-B*27 subtypes using IR spectroscopy revealed that B*27:04 and B*27:05 possess elevated molecular dynamics compared to the nonassociated subtypes B*27:06 and B*27:09.Conclusion
Our results demonstrate that an increase in conformational flexibility characterizes the disease-associated subtypes B*27:04 and B*27:05.Structure deposition and release

Data provenance
MHC:peptide complexes are visualised using PyMol. The peptide is superimposed on a consistent cutaway slice of the MHC binding cleft (displayed as a grey mesh) which best indicates the binding pockets for the P1/P5/PC positions (side view - pockets A, E, F) and for the P2/P3/PC-2 positions (top view - pockets B, C, D). In some cases peptides will use a different pocket for a specific peptide position (atypical anchoring). On some structures the peptide may appear to sterically clash with a pocket. This is an artefact of picking a standardised slice of the cleft and overlaying the peptide.

Data provenance
Neighbours are calculated by finding residues with atoms within 5Å of each other using BioPython Neighboursearch module. The list of neighbours is then sorted and filtered to inlcude only neighbours where between the peptide and the MHC Class I alpha chain.

Data provenance
N-/C-terminus and peptide backbone binding residues are assigned according to previously published information and pockets are assigned according to an adaptation of a previously published set of residues. All numbering is currently that of the 'canonical' structures of human and mouse MHC Class I molecules.

Data provenance
Sequences are retrieved via the Uniprot method of the RSCB REST API. Sequences are then compared to those derived from the PDB file and matched against sequences retrieved from the IPD-IMGT/HLA database for human sequences, or the IPD-MHC database for other species. Mouse sequences are matched against FASTA files from Uniprot. Sequences for the mature extracellular protein (signal petide and cytoplasmic tail removed) are compared to identical length sequences from the datasources mentioned before using either exact matching or Levenshtein distance based matching.
