Definition of peptide binding motifs for DR molecules has proven difficult as the peptides that bind to a DR molecule have shown extensive variability at putative motif positions. Recent studies suggest that specific peptide anchor residues (motif positions) and specific DR residues can differ in importance for peptide binding to a DR molecule. To assess further the relevance of individual peptide anchor residues, the binding of serial alanine-substituted analogs of influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) 306-318 and human myelin basic protein (MBP) 152-165 to a panel of transfected wild-type DR molecules was examined. This analysis included DR molecules from a wide range of allelic families and, unlike most earlier studies, multiple members of single DR allelic families. The data show that different peptide residues serve as critical anchors for binding to different DR molecules. For example, MBP binding to DR(alpha, beta 1*0303) required peptide residues F154 (i), R159 (i + 5) and R162 (i + 8). In contrast, MBP binding to DR(alpha, beta 1*0102) required peptide residues I153 (i) and L156 (i + 3). More importantly, the combination of critical anchor residues in HA and MBP differed for binding to a single DR molecule [e.g. V309 (i) for HA and I153 (i) and L156 (i + 3) for MBP binding to DR(alpha, beta 1*0102)]. Although the location of the binding pocket in each DR molecule compared to the DR (alpha, beta 1 *0101) crystal is expected to be similar and suggests a common extended DR binding motif, the present results suggest that the relative importance of individual peptide anchor residues and of the corresponding DR binding pockets will differ for each DR/peptide complex.
