Recognition of HLA‐A3 and HLA‐A11 by KIR3DL2 is peptide‐specific

Abstract: The recognition of MHC class I molecules by killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) is central to the control of NK cell function and can also modulate the CTL activation threshold. Among KIR receptors, KIR3DL2 is thought to interact with HLA-A3 and -A11, although direct evidence has been lacking. In this study, we show that HLA-A3 and -A11 tetramers specifically bind to KIR3DL2*001 transfectants and that this recognition is peptide-specific. Single amino acid substitutions in the nonamer peptide under… Show more

“…1A). This set of HLA class I allotypes retains the C1, C2, and Bw4 epitopes, the major ligands for inhibitory KIR (7), but lacks the A3/A11 epitope recognized by KIR3DL2 (21). During NK cell development, interactions between C1, C2, and Bw4 and cognate KIR determine the strength with which mature NK cells respond to cells whose HLA class I expression is perturbed by disease, a developmental process termed NK cell education (22).…”

“…During NK cell development, interactions between C1, C2, and Bw4 and cognate KIR determine the strength with which mature NK cells respond to cells whose HLA class I expression is perturbed by disease, a developmental process termed NK cell education (22). The A3/A11 epitope contributes little to NK cell education (23,24), a distinction that correlates with the exceptionally high sensitivity of KIR3DL2 to the peptide bound by HLA-A*03 or A*11 (21).…”

“…Moreover, this study has, for the first time to our knowledge, mapped the association of MHC-I molecules with BD to specific HLA-B and HLA-A amino acid residues, most of which cluster in the antigen-binding groove at positions known to influence strongly the selection and binding of peptide antigens by MHC-I molecules. These findings have important implications for the pathophysiology of BD, because peptide binding by MHC-I directly affects (i) the folding and stability of peptide-MHC-I complexes, which in turn determine their surface expression vs. retention in the endoplasmic reticulum; (ii) the recognition of peptide-MHC-I complexes by antigen-specific Tcell receptors on CTLs; and (iii) the engagement of KIRs on CTLs and NK cells by peptide-MHC-I complexes (26)(27)(28)(29)(30).…”

“…While the concept of peptides modulating the interaction of specific KIRs and their HLA-A, B or C ligands is not new [12][13][14][15] Lunemann et al perform the first systematic screen for such peptides in HCV infection. Only very few HLA-C restricted peptides have been identified in HCV infection, even when one uses T cell activation rather than NK cell inhibition as a readout.…”
