HLA-B27 has a striking association with inflammatory arthritis.
We show that free HLA-B27 heavy chains can form a disulfide-bonded
homodimer, dependent on residue Cys67 in their
extracellular
1 domain. Despite the absence of
ß2-microglobulin, HLA-B27 heavy chain homodimers (termed
HC-B27) were stabilized by a known peptide epitope. HC-B27 complexes
were recognized by the conformation-specific Ab W6/32, but not the ME1
Ab. Surface labeling and immunoprecipitation demonstrated the presence
of similar W6/32-reactive free heavy chains at the surface of
HLA-B27-transfected T2 cells. HC-B27 homodimer formation might explain
the ability of HLA-B27 to induce spondyloarthropathy in
ß2-microglobulin-deficient mice.
