Abundance, Betweenness Centrality, Hydrophobicity, and Isoelectric Points Are Relevant Factors in the Processing of Parental Proteins of the HLA Class II Ligandome
JOURNAL OF PROTEOME RESEARCH(2022)
摘要
Adaptive cellular and humoral immune responses to infectious agents require previous recognition of pathogenic peptides bound to human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules exposed on the surface of the professional antigen-presenting cells. Knowledge of how these peptide ligands are generated is essential to understand Centrality the basis for CD4(+) T-cell-mediated immunity and tolerance. In this study, a highthroughput mass spectrometry analysis was used to identify more than 16,000 cell peptides bound to several HLA-DR and -DP class II molecules isolated from large amounts of uninfected and virus-infected human cells (ProteomeXchange accession: PXD028006). The analysis of the 1808 parental proteins containing HLA class II ligands revealed that these cell proteins were more acidic, abundant, and highly connected but less hydrophilic than non-parental proteomes. Therefore, the percentage of acidic residues was increased and hydroxyl and polar residues were decreased in the parental proteins for the HLA class II ligandomes versus the non-parental proteomes. This definition of the properties shared by parental proteins that constitute the source of the HLA class II ligandomes can serve as the basis for the development of bioinformatics tools to predict proteins that are most likely recognized by the immune system through the CD4(+) helper T lymphocytes in both autoimmunity and infection.
