The effect of pH on class II-peptide interactions has been analyzed using several mouse (IAd, IAk, IEd, IEk) and human (DR1, DR5, DR7) MHC specificities, and eight different class II-restricted determinants. In direct binding assays, acidic conditions led to increased binding capacity for many class II-peptide combinations. IE molecules seemed to bind optimally around pH 4.5, whereas IA molecules displayed binding optima in the 5.5 to 6.5 range. In contrast, the DR molecules studied were, in most cases, affected only marginally by pH changes in the 4.5 to 7.0 range. Despite these apparent isotype-specific trends, no general rule could be formulated, because even for the same class II molecules, the binding capacity could be increased for many peptides when the binding was performed under acidic conditions, was unaffected for some, and even decreased for others. The mechanisms responsible for this complex behavior were analyzed in more detail by kinetic and equilibrium analysis of three different class II-peptide combinations (IAd/OVA 323-339, IAk/HEL 46-61, and DR1/HA 307-319). It was found that acidic pH conditions could affect both on and off rates for class II- peptide complexes. Depending on the net balance of these effects, either increases, decreases, or no effect on overall affinities at equilibrium were detected. In the case of IAd/OVA 323-339, it was also found that acidic conditions influenced the binding capacity of class II molecules by increasing the fraction of sites available for peptide binding, presumably by favoring dissociation of endogenously bound, acid-sensitive peptides.
