摘要
Proteins of the class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) bind antigenic peptides that are subsequently presented to T cells. Previous studies have shown that most of the residues required for binding of the chicken ovalbumin (Ova) 323-339 peptide to the I-A(d) MHC class II protein are contained within the shorter 325-336 peptide. This observation is somewhat inconsistent with the X-ray structure of the Ova peptide covalently attached to I-A(d) ( structure) in which residues 323 and 324 form binding interactions with the protein. A second register for the Ova(325-336) peptide is proposed where residues 326 and 327 occupy positions similar to residues 323 and 324 in the structure. Two Ova peptides that minimally encompass the and alternate registers, Ova(323-335) and Ova(325-336), respectively, were found to dissociate from I-A(d) with distinct kinetics. The dissociation rates for both peptides were enhanced when the His81 residue of the MHC beta-chain was replaced with an asparagine. In the structure the betaH81 residue forms a hydrogen bond to the backbone carbonyl of I323. If the Ova(325-336) peptide were also bound in the register, there would be no comparable hydrogen-bond acceptor for the betaH81 side chain that could explain this peptide's sensitivity to the betaH81 replacement. The Ova(323-335) peptide that binds in the register does not stimulate a T-cell hybridoma that is stimulated by Ova(325-336) bound in the alternate register. These results demonstrate that a single peptide can bind to an MHC peptide in alternate registers producing distinct T-cell responses.
