Allelic association with ankylosing spondylitis fails to correlate with human leukocyte antigen B27 homodimer formation.

Expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 is strongly associated with predisposition toward ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and other spondyloarthropathies. However, the exact involvement of HLA-B27 in disease initiation and progression remains unclear. The homodimer theory, which proposes that HLA-B27 heavy chains aberrantly form homodimers, is a central hypothesis that attempts to explain the role of HLA-B27 in disease pathogenesis. Here, we examined the ability of the eight most prevalent HLA-B27 allotypes (HLA-B*27:02 to HLA-B*27:09) to form homodimers. We observed that HLA-B*27:03, a disease-associated HLA-B27 subtype, showed a significantly reduced ability to form homodimers compared with all other allotypes, including the non-disease-associated/protective allotypes HLA-B*27:06 and HLA-B*27:09. We used X-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis to unravel the molecular and structural mechanisms in HLA-B*27:03 that are responsible for its compromised ability to form homodimers. We show that polymorphism at position 59, which differentiates HLA-B*27:03 from all other allotypes, is responsible for its compromised ability to form homodimers. Indeed, histidine 59 in HLA-B*27:03 leads to a series of local conformational changes that act in concert to reduce the accessibility of the nearby cysteine 67, an essential amino acid residue for the formation of HLA-B27 homodimers. Considered together, the ability of both protective and disease-associated HLA-B27 allotypes to form homodimers and the failure of HLA-B*27:03 to form homodimers challenge the role of HLA-B27 homodimers in AS pathoetiology. Rather, this work implicates other features, such as peptide binding and antigen presentation, as pivotal mechanisms for disease pathogenesis.

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.
