ERAP2 Increases the Abundance of a Peptide Submotif Highly Selective for the Birdshot Uveitis-Associated HLA-A29

ABSTRACT: Birdshot Uveitis (BU) is a blinding inflammatory eye condition that only affects HLA-A29-positive individuals. Genetic association studies linked ERAP2 with BU, an aminopeptidase which trims peptides before their presentation by HLA class I at the cell surface, which suggests that ERAP2-dependent peptide presentation by HLA-A29 drives the pathogenesis of BU. However, it remains poorly understood whether the effects of ERAP2 on the HLA-A29 peptidome are distinct from its effect on other HLA allotypes. To address this, we focused on the effects of ERAP2 on the immunopeptidome in patientderived antigen presenting cells. Using complementary HLA-A29-based and pan-class I immunopurifications, isotope-labeled naturally processed and presented HLA-bound peptides were sequenced by mass spectrometry. We show that the effects of ERAP2 on the N-terminus of ligands of HLA-A29 are shared across endogenous HLA allotypes, but discover and replicate that one peptide motif generated in the presence of ERAP2 is specifically bound by HLA-A29. This motif can be found in the amino acid sequence of putative autoantigens. We further show evidence for internal sequence specificity for ERAP2 imprinted in the immunopeptidome. These results reveal that ERAP2 can generate an HLA-A29-specific antigen repertoire, which supports that antigen presentation is a key disease pathway in BU.

Project description:The majority of peptides presented by MHC class I results from proteasomal protein turnover. The specialized immunoproteasome, which is induced during inflammation, plays a major role in antigenic peptide generation. However, other cellular proteases can, either alone or together with the proteasome, contribute peptides for MHC class I loading non-canonically. We used an im-munopeptidomics workflow combined with a prediction software for proteasomal cleavage probabilities to analyze how inflammatory conditions affect proteasomal processing of immune epitopes presented by A549 cells. Treatment of A549 cells with IFNγ enhanced proteasomal cleavage probability of MHC class I ligands for both, the constitutive proteasome and the im-munoproteasome. Furthermore, IFNγ alters the contribution of the different HLA allotypes to the immunopeptidome. When we calculated HLA allotype-specific proteasomal cleavage probabili-ties for MHC class I ligands, peptides presented by HLA-A*30:01 showed characteristics hinting at a reduced C-terminal proteasomal cleavage probability independently of the type of proteasome. This was confirmed by HLA-A*30:01 ligands from the immune epitope database, which also showed this effect. Furthermore, two additional HLA allotypes, namely HLA-A*03:01 and HLA-A*11:01, presented peptides with a markedly reduced C-terminal proteasomal cleavage probability. Peptides eluted from all three HLA allotypes shared a peptide binding motif with a C-terminal lysine residue suggesting that this lysine residue impairs proteasome-dependent HLA ligand production and might, in turn, favor peptide generation by other cellular proteases. The mass spectrometry raw files used in this study were originally produced for a previous publication, where they were utilized to address the influence of cigarette smoke on the antiviral T-cell immune response. Here, we have reanalyzed the data to investigate processing of MHC class I ligands by c20S or i20S, respectively.
