ABSTRACT
Human leukocyte antigen-DM (HLA-DM) is an integral component of the major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) antigen-processing and -presentation pathway. HLA-DM shapes the immune system by differentially catalyzing peptide exchange on MHCII molecules, thereby editing the peptide-MHCII (pMHCII) repertoire by imposing a bias on the foreign and self-derived peptide cargos that are presented on the cell surface for immune surveillance and tolerance induction by CD4+ T cells. To better understand DM selectivity, here we developed a real-time fluorescence anisotropy assay to delineate the pMHCII intrinsic stability, DM-binding affinity, and catalytic turnover, independent kinetic parameters of HLA-DM enzymatic activity. We analyzed prominent pMHCII contacts by differentiating the kinetic parameters in pMHCII homologs, observing that peptide interactions throughout the MHCII-binding cleft influence both the rate of peptide dissociation from the DM-pMHCII catalytic complex and the binding affinity of HLA-DM for a pMHCII. We show that the intrinsic stability of a pMHCII linearly correlates with DM catalytic turnover, but is nonlinearly correlated with its binding affinity. Surprisingly, interactions at the peptides N terminus up to and including MHCII position one (P1) anchor affected the catalytic turnover, suggesting that the active DM-pMHCII catalytic complex operates on pMHCII complexes with full peptide occupancy. Furthermore, interactions at the peptide C terminus modulated DM-binding affinity, suggesting distal communication between peptide interactions with the MHCII and the DM-pMHCII binding interface. Our results imply an intimate linkage between the DM-pMHCII interface and peptide-MHCII interactions throughout the peptide-binding cleft.
