Abstract
The reasons for the association of the human major histocompatibility complex protein HLA-B27 with spondyloarthropathies are unknown. To uncover the underlying molecular causes, we determined the crystal structures of the disease-associated B*2705 and the nonassociated B*2709 subtypes complexed with the same nonapeptide (GRFAAAIAK). Both differ in only one residue (Asp(116) and His(116), respectively) in the F-pocket that accommodates the peptide C terminus. Several different effects of the Asp(116) --> His replacement are observed. The bulkier His(116) induces a movement of peptide C-terminal pLys(9), allowing the formation of a novel salt bridge to Asp(77), whereas the salt bridge between pLys(9) and Asp(116) is converted into a hydrogen bond with His(116). His(116) but not Asp(116) adopts two alternative conformations, one of which leads to breakage of hydrogen bonds. Water molecules near residue 116 differ with regard to number, position, and contacts made. Furthermore, F-pocket atoms exhibit higher B-factors in B*2709 than in B*2705, indicating an increased flexibility of the entire region in the former subtype. These changes induce subtle peptide conformational alterations that may be responsible for the immunobiological differences between these HLA-B27 subtypes.

Fig. 2. Overall protein fold and peptide binding groove of HLA-B*2705·m9 and B*2709·m9. A, ribbon representation of HLA-B*2709·m9 (HC in blue, [2]m in green, peptide as ball-and-stick model in red, and disulfide bridges and Cys67 in yellow). B, superimposition of the peptide binding grooves of B*2705·m9, B*2709·m9, and B*2705·ARA[7] (PDB entry 1hsa). Because the binding grooves are highly similar, only the backbone of the HC of B*2705·m9 is depicted (ribbon representation). Peptides are shown as C[ ]traces, m9 from B*2705 in blue, m9 from B*2709 in cyan, and ARA[7] in yellow.
