Interaction of Nevirapine with the Peptide Binding Groove of HLA-DRB1*01:01 and Its Effect on the Conformation of HLA-Peptide Complex.


ABSTRACT: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1*01:01 has been shown to be involved in nevirapine-induced hepatic hypersensitivity reactions. In the present study, in silico docking simulations and molecular dynamics simulations were performed to predict the interaction mode of nevirapine with the peptide binding groove of HLA-DRB1*01:01 and its possible effect on the position and orientation of the ligand peptide derived from hemagglutinin (HA). In silico analyses suggested that nevirapine interacts with HLA-DRB1*01:01 around the P4 pocket within the peptide binding groove and the HA peptide stably binds on top of nevirapine at the groove. The analyses also showed that binding of nevirapine at the groove will significantly change the inter-helical distances of the groove. An in vitro competitive assay showed that nevirapine (1000 ?M) increases the binding of the HA peptide to HLA-DRB1*01:01 in an allele-specific manner. These results indicate that nevirapine might interact directly with the P4 pocket and modifies its structure, which could change the orientation of loaded peptides and the conformation of HLA-DRB1*01:01; these changes could be distinctively recognized by T-cell receptors. Through this molecular mechanism, nevirapine might stimulate the immune system, resulting in hepatic hypersensitivity reactions.
