HCMV glycoprotein US6 mediated inhibition of TAP does not affect HLA-E dependent protection of K-562 cells from NK cell lysis
Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus has evolved multiple strategies to interfere with immune recognition by the host. A variety of mechanisms affect antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class I molecules resulting in a reduced class I cell-surface expression. This downregulation is expected to trigger natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity, requiring counteraction by the virus to establish long-term infection. Here we describe that the human cytomegalovirus gpUS6 protein, which has been demonstrated to downregulate the expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and the presentation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes by blocking transporter associated with antigen presentation (TAP function), does not affect the ability of HLA-E to inhibit NK cell mediated lysis of K-562 cells by interaction with CD94/NKG2A expressed on NK cells. Cell surface expression and function of HLA-E is not altered although gpUS6 inhibits TAP-dependent peptide transport by 95%. Moreover, HLA-E molecules presenting HLA class I signal sequence-derived peptides are functionally detectable on transfected TAP-deficient RMA-S cells.
