Crystal Structure of a Classical MHC Class I Molecule in Dogs; Comparison of DLA-880 and DLA-885 Category Molecules.

ABSTRACT: DLA-88 is a classical major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I gene in dogs, and allelic DLA-88 molecules have been divided into two categories named "DLA-88*0" and "DLA-88*5." The defining difference between the two categories concerns an LQW motif in the α2 domain helical region of the DLA-88*5 molecules that includes the insertion of an extra amino acid compared to MHC class I consensus length. We here show that this motif has been exchanged by recombination between different DLA-88 evolutionary lineages. Previously, with pDLA-88*508:01, the structure of a molecule of the DLA-88*5 category was elucidated. The present study is the first to elucidate a structure, using X-ray crystallography, of the DLA-88*0 category, namely DLA-88*001:04 complexed with β2m and a nonamer peptide derived from canine distemper virus (CDV). The LQW motif that distinguishes DLA-88*5 from DLA-88*0 causes a shallower peptide binding groove (PBG) and a leucine exposed at the top of the α2 domain helix expected to affect T cell selection. Peptide ligand amino acid substitution and pMHC-I complex formation and stability analyses revealed that P2 and P3 are the major anchor residue positions for binding to DLA-88*001:04. We speculate that the distribution pattern of the LQW motif among canine classical MHC class I alleles represents a strategy to enhance allogeneic rejection by T cells of transmissible cancers such as canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT).

Project description:To control gene expression, microRNAs (miRNAs) are of key importance and their deregulation is associated with the development and progression of various cancer types. In this context, a discordant messenger RNA/protein expression pointing to extensive post-transcriptional regulation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules was already shown. However, only a very limited number of miRNAs targeting these molecules have yet been identified. Despite an increasing evidence of coding sequence (CDS)-located miRNA binding sites, there exists so far, no detailed study of the interaction of miRNAs with the CDS of MHC class I molecules. Using an MS2-tethering approach in combination with small RNA sequencing, a number of putative miRNAs binding to the CDS of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G were identified. These candidate miRNAs were extensively screened for their effects in the HLA-G-positive JEG3 cell line. Due to the high sequence similarity between HLA-G and classical MHC class I molecules, the impact of HLA-G candidate miRNAs on HLA class I surface expression was also analyzed. The Cancer Genome Atlas data were used to correlate candidate miRNAs and HLA class I gene expression. Transfection of candidate miRNAs revealed that miR-744 significantly downregulates HLA-G protein levels. In contrast, overexpression of the candidate miRNAs miR-15, miR-16, and miR-424 sharing the same seed sequence resulted in an unexpected upregulation of HLA-G. Comparable results were obtained for classical MHC class I members after transfection of miRNA mimics into HEK293T cells. Analyses of The Cancer Genome Atlas data sets for miRNA and MHC class I expression further validated the results. Our data expand the knowledge about MHC class I regulation and showed for the first time an miRNA-dependent control of MHC class I antigens mediated by the CDS. CDS-located miRNA binding sites could improve the general use of miRNA-based therapeutic approaches as these sites are highly independent of structural variations (e.g. mutations) in the gene body. Surprisingly, miR-16 family members promoted MHC class I expression potentially in a gene activation-like mechanism.
