The glycosylation status of MHC class I molecules impacts their interactions with TAPBPR.

ABSTRACT: Glycosylation plays a crucial role in the folding, structure, quality control and trafficking of glycoproteins. Here, we explored whether the glycosylation status of MHC class I (MHC-I) molecules impacts their affinity for the peptide editor, TAPBPR. We demonstrate that the interaction between TAPBPR and MHC-I is stronger when MHC-I lacks a glycan. Subsequently, TAPBPR can dissociate peptides, even those of high affinity, more easily from non-glycosylated MHC-I compared to their glycosylated counterparts. In addition, TAPBPR is more resistant to peptide-mediated allosteric release from non-glycosylated MHC-I compared to species with a glycan attached. Consequently, we find the glycosylation status of HLA-A*68:02, -A*02:01 and -B*27:05 influences their ability to undergo TAPBPR-mediated peptide exchange. The discovery that the glycan attached to MHC-I significantly influences the affinity of their interactions with TAPBPR has important implications, on both an experimental level and in a biological context.

TAPBPR isoforms exhibit altered association with MHC class I.

Project description:The tapasin-related protein TAPBPR is a novel component of the antigen processing and presentation pathway, which binds to MHC class I coupled with ?2-microglobulin. We describe six alternatively spliced TAPBPR transcripts from the TAPBPL gene and investigate three of these at a protein level. TAPBPR transcripts lacking exon 5 result in loss of the membrane proximal IgC domain and loss of ability to bind to MHC class I. Alternative acceptor and donor splice sites in exon 4 of TAPBPR altered the reading frame in the IgV domain and produced a truncated TAPBPR product. An additional exon in the TAPBPL gene was identified that encodes extra residues in the cytoplasmic tail of TAPBPR. This longer TAPBPR protein interacted with MHC class I but was attenuated in its ability to down-regulate surface expression of MHC class I. The abundance of these alternative transcripts in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and dendritic cells suggests an important role of TAPBPR isoforms in vivo.

TAPBPR promotes antigen loading on MHC-I molecules using a peptide trap.

Project description:Chaperones Tapasin and TAP-binding protein related (TAPBPR) perform the important functions of stabilizing nascent MHC-I molecules (chaperoning) and selecting high-affinity peptides in the MHC-I groove (editing). While X-ray and cryo-EM snapshots of MHC-I in complex with TAPBPR and Tapasin, respectively, have provided important insights into the peptide-deficient MHC-I groove structure, the molecular mechanism through which these chaperones influence the selection of specific amino acid sequences remains incompletely characterized. Based on structural and functional data, a loop sequence of variable lengths has been proposed to stabilize empty MHC-I molecules through direct interactions with the floor of the groove. Using deep mutagenesis on two complementary expression systems, we find that important residues for the Tapasin/TAPBPR chaperoning activity are located on a large scaffolding surface, excluding the loop. Conversely, loop mutations influence TAPBPR interactions with properly conformed MHC-I molecules, relevant for peptide editing. Detailed biophysical characterization by solution NMR, ITC and FP-based assays shows that the loop hovers above the MHC-I groove to promote the capture of incoming peptides. Our results suggest that the longer loop of TAPBPR lowers the affinity requirements for peptide selection to facilitate peptide loading under conditions and subcellular compartments of reduced ligand concentration, and to prevent disassembly of high-affinity peptide-MHC-I complexes that are transiently interrogated by TAPBPR during editing.

TAPBPR mediates peptide dissociation from MHC class I using a leucine lever.

Project description:Tapasin and TAPBPR are known to perform peptide editing on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules; however, the precise molecular mechanism(s) involved in this process remain largely enigmatic. Here, using immunopeptidomics in combination with novel cell-based assays that assess TAPBPR-mediated peptide exchange, we reveal a critical role for the K22-D35 loop of TAPBPR in mediating peptide exchange on MHC I. We identify a specific leucine within this loop that enables TAPBPR to facilitate peptide dissociation from MHC I. Moreover, we delineate the molecular features of the MHC I F pocket required for TAPBPR to promote peptide dissociation in a loop-dependent manner. These data reveal that chaperone-mediated peptide editing on MHC I can occur by different mechanisms dependent on the C-terminal residue that the MHC I accommodates in its F pocket and provide novel insights that may inform the therapeutic potential of TAPBPR manipulation to increase tumour immunogenicity.

Direct peptide-regulatable interactions between MHC class I molecules and tapasin.

Project description:Tapasin (Tpn) has been implicated in multiple steps of the MHC class I assembly pathway, but the mechanisms of function remain incompletely understood. Using purified proteins, we could demonstrate direct binding of Tpn to peptide-deficient forms of MHC class I molecules at physiological temperatures. Tpn also bound to M10.5, a pheromone receptor-associated MHC molecule that has an open and empty groove and that shares significant sequence identity with class I sequences. Two types of MHC class I-Tpn complexes were detectable in vitro depending on the input proteins; those depleted in beta(2)m, and those containing beta(2)m. Both were competent for subsequent assembly with peptides, but the latter complexes assembled more rapidly. Thus, the assembly rate of Tpn-associated class I was determined by the conditions under which Tpn-MHC class I complexes were induced. Peptide loading of class I inhibited Tpn-class I-binding interactions, and peptide-depletion enhanced binding. In combination with beta(2)m, certain peptides induced efficient dissociation of preformed Tpn-class I complexes. Together, these studies demonstrate direct Tpn-MHC class I interactions and preferential binding of empty MHC class I by Tpn, and that the Tpn-class I interaction is regulated by both beta(2)m and peptide. In cells, Tpn is likely to be a direct mediator of peptide-regulated binding and release of MHC class I from the TAP complex.

Interaction of TAPBPR, a tapasin homolog, with MHC-I molecules promotes peptide editing.

Project description:Peptide loading of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules is central to antigen presentation, self-tolerance, and CD8(+) T-cell activation. TAP binding protein, related (TAPBPR), a widely expressed tapasin homolog, is not part of the classical MHC-I peptide-loading complex (PLC). Using recombinant MHC-I molecules, we show that TAPBPR binds HLA-A*02:01 and several other MHC-I molecules that are either peptide-free or loaded with low-affinity peptides. Fluorescence polarization experiments establish that TAPBPR augments peptide binding by MHC-I. The TAPBPR/MHC-I interaction is reversed by specific peptides, related to their affinity. Mutational and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies confirm the structural similarities of TAPBPR with tapasin. These results support a role of TAPBPR in stabilizing peptide-receptive conformation(s) of MHC-I, permitting peptide editing.

Utilizing TAPBPR to promote exogenous peptide loading onto cell surface MHC I molecules.

Project description:The repertoire of peptides displayed at the cell surface by MHC I molecules is shaped by two intracellular peptide editors, tapasin and TAPBPR. While cell-free assays have proven extremely useful in identifying the function of both of these proteins, here we explored whether a more physiological system could be developed to assess TAPBPR-mediated peptide editing on MHC I. We reveal that membrane-associated TAPBPR targeted to the plasma membrane retains its ability to function as a peptide editor and efficiently catalyzes peptide exchange on surface-expressed MHC I molecules. Additionally, we show that soluble TAPBPR, consisting of the luminal domain alone, added to intact cells, also functions as an effective peptide editor on surface MHC I molecules. Thus, we have established two systems in which TAPBPR-mediated peptide exchange on MHC class I can be interrogated. Furthermore, we could use both plasma membrane-targeted and exogenous soluble TAPBPR to display immunogenic peptides on surface MHC I molecules and consequently induce T cell receptor engagement, IFN-? secretion, and T cell-mediated killing of target cells. Thus, we have developed an efficient way to by-pass the natural antigen presentation pathway of cells and load immunogenic peptides of choice onto cells. Our findings highlight a potential therapeutic use for TAPBPR in increasing the immunogenicity of tumors in the future.

The binding of TAPBPR and Tapasin to MHC class I is mutually exclusive.

Project description:The loading of peptide Ags onto MHC class I molecules is a highly controlled process in which the MHC class I-dedicated chaperone tapasin is a key player. We recently identified a tapasin-related molecule, TAPBPR, as an additional component in the MHC class I Ag-presentation pathway. In this study, we show that the amino acid residues important for tapasin to interact with MHC class I are highly conserved on TAPBPR. We identify specific residues in the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of TAPBPR involved in associating with MHC class I. Furthermore, we demonstrate that residues on MHC class I crucial for its association with tapasin, such as T134, are also essential for its interaction with TAPBPR. Taken together, the data indicate that TAPBPR and tapasin bind in a similar orientation to the same face of MHC class I. In the absence of tapasin, the association of MHC class I with TAPBPR is increased. However, in the absence of TAPBPR, the interaction between MHC class I and tapasin does not increase. In light of our findings, previous data determining the function of tapasin in the MHC class I Ag-processing and presentation pathway must be re-evaluated.

Present Yourself! By MHC Class I and MHC Class II Molecules.

Project description:Since the discovery of MHC molecules, it has taken 40 years to arrive at a coherent picture of how MHC class I and MHC class II molecules really work. This is a story of the proteases and MHC-like chaperones that support the MHC class I and II molecules in presenting peptides to the immune system. We now understand that the MHC system shapes both the repertoire of presented peptides and the subsequent T cell response, with important implications ranging from transplant rejection to tumor immunotherapies. Here we present an illustrated review of the ins and outs of MHC class I and MHC class II antigen presentation.

Project description:Tapasin is an integral component of the peptide-loading complex (PLC) important for efficient peptide loading onto MHC class I molecules. We investigated the function of the tapasin-related protein, TAPBPR. Like tapasin, TAPBPR is widely expressed, IFN-?-inducible, and binds to MHC class I coupled with ?2-microglobulin in the endoplasmic reticulum. In contrast to tapasin, TAPBPR does not bind ERp57 or calreticulin and is not an integral component of the PLC. ?2-microglobulin is essential for the association between TAPBPR and MHC class I. However, the association between TAPBPR and MHC class I occurs in the absence of a functional PLC, suggesting peptide is not required. Expression of TAPBPR decreases the rate of MHC class I maturation through the secretory pathway and prolongs the association of MHC class I on the PLC. The TAPBPR:MHC class I complex trafficks through the Golgi apparatus, demonstrating a function of TAPBPR beyond the endoplasmic reticulum/cis-Golgi. The identification of TAPBPR as an additional component of the MHC class I antigen-presentation pathway demonstrates that mechanisms controlling MHC class I expression remain incompletely understood.

Distinct Polymorphisms in HLA Class I Molecules Govern Their Susceptibility to Peptide Editing by TAPBPR.

Project description:Understanding how peptide selection is controlled on different major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules is pivotal for determining how variations in these proteins influence our predisposition to infectious diseases, cancer, and autoinflammatory conditions. Although the intracellular chaperone TAPBPR edits MHC I peptides, it is unclear which allotypes are subjected to TAPBPR-mediated peptide editing. Here, we examine the ability of 97 different human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I allotypes to interact with TAPBPR. We reveal a striking preference of TAPBPR for HLA-A, particularly for supertypes A2 and A24, over HLA-B and -C molecules. We demonstrate that the increased propensity of these HLA-A molecules to undergo TAPBPR-mediated peptide editing is determined by molecular features of the HLA-A F pocket, specifically residues H114 and Y116. This work reveals that specific polymorphisms in MHC I strongly influence their susceptibility to chaperone-mediated peptide editing, which may play a significant role in disease predisposition.
