The binding of peptides to MHC class II molecules is mediated in part by a conserved array of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. We have evaluated the consequences of disrupting the hydrogen bond between ß-His-81 of the class II molecule and bound peptide. These studies revealed that peptide dissociation rates were accelerated by factors ranging to 200-fold. The sensitivity of a peptide to loss of the hydrogen bond is inversely correlated with the inherent kinetic stability of the peptide-MHC complex. The same relationship has been observed between inherent kinetic stability and the susceptibility to DM. Given that the rate enhancement observed for MHC class II I-Ad protein mutated at position 81 in the ß-chain is comparable with DM-catalyzed rates for other class II molecules, we suggest that DM could function by stabilizing a peptide-MHC intermediate in which one or more hydrogen bonds between the peptide and MHC, such as that contributed by the ß-His-81 hydrogen bond, are disrupted.
