  ABSTRACT  
 
Many persistent viruses have evolved the ability to subvert MHC class I antigen presentation. Indeed, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes at least four proteins that down-regulate cell-surface expression of class I. The HCMV unique short (US)2 glycoprotein binds newly synthesized class I molecules within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and subsequently targets them for proteasomal degradation. We report the crystal structure of US2 bound to the HLA-A2/Tax peptide complex. US2 associates with HLA-A2 at the junction of the peptide-binding region and the alpha3 domain, a novel binding surface on class I that allows US2 to bind independently of peptide sequence. Mutation of class I heavy chains confirms the importance of this binding site in vivo. Available data on class I-ER chaperone interactions indicate that chaperones would not impede US2 binding. Unexpectedly, the US2 ER-luminal domain forms an Ig-like fold. A US2 structure-based sequence alignment reveals that seven HCMV proteins, at least three of which function in immune evasion, share the same fold as US2. The structure allows design of further experiments to determine how US2 targets class I molecules for degradation.

Figure 3.
Fig. 3. US2 binds remotely from peptide-loading proteins. The positions of mutations (blue) that alter interactions between class I molecules and the peptide-loading machinery are shown relative to the US2 binding site on HLA-A2 (magenta). The HLA-A2 N-linked glycan attachment site, asparagine 86, is also shown in blue. US2 residues that contact HLA-A2 are yellow.
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Protein ligands for class I molecules interact with different surfaces. Superposition of class I/receptor complexes for which the structure is known reveals that the five class I ligand types bind at distinct locations. Class I interaction surfaces are colored according to each ligand: US2 (magenta), Ly49A (green), B7 TCR (blue), KIR2DL1 (red), CD8 (cyan). Equivalent C atoms for class I heavy chain were used to generate pairwise superpositions. HLA-A2 heavy chain (yellow), [2]-microglobulin (gray), US2 (magenta), Tax peptide (green).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
