A Peptide Binding Motif for HLA-DQA1*0102/DQB1*0602, the Class II MHC Molecule Associated with Dominant Protection in Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus1

HLA-DQA1*0102/DQB1*0602 (DQ0602) is observed at a decreased frequency in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in different ethnic groups, suggesting a protective role for DQ0602. Analysis of overlapping peptides from human insulin found that insulin B(1–15) bound well to DQ0602 and exhibited a high degree of allelic specificity. Truncation analysis of insulin B(1–15) identified insulin B(5–15) as the minimal peptide for DQ0602 binding. Insulin B(5–15) bound to DQ0602 with an apparent KD of 0.7 to 1.0 µM and peptide binding reached equilibrium at 96 h. Single arginine substitutions at each position of the insulin B(5–15) peptide identified amino acids 6, 8, 9, 11, and 14 (relative positions P1, P3, P4, P6, and P9) as important for binding. Extensive substitutions for each of these amino acids revealed that amino acids 11 and 14 (P6 and P9) exhibited the highest specificity. Amino acid 11 (P6) preferred large aliphatic amino acids, while amino acid 14 (P9) preferred smaller aliphatic and hydroxyl amino acids. Binding of an overlapping series of peptides from a randomly chosen protein, the herpes simplex virus-2 tegument protein UL49, correlated completely with the presence or absence of the DQ0602 peptide binding motif. Peptides 11 amino acids long were selected from GAD65, IA-2, and proinsulin, that contained the DQ0602 peptide binding motif. Of these, 79% (19 of 24) were able to bind DQ0602. This study identifies a peptide binding motif for DQ0602 and peptides from insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus autoantigens that bind DQ0602 in vitro.
