The interaction between 9-mer peptides and HLA-B51 molecules was investigated by quantitative peptide binding assay using RMA-S cells expressing human beta2-microglobulin and HLA-B51 molecules. Of 147 chemically synthesized 9-mer peptides possessing two anchor residues corresponding to the motif of HLA-B*5101 binding self-peptides, 27 peptides bound to HLA-B*5101 molecules. Pro and Ala at position 2 as well as Ile at position 9 were confirmed to be main anchor residues, while Gly at position 2 as well as Val, Leu, and Met at position 9 were weak anchor residues for HLA-B*5101. The A-pocket is suspected to have a critical role in peptide binding to MHC class I molecules because this pocket corresponds to the N-terminus of peptides and has a strong hydrogen bond formed by conserved Tyr residues. Further analysis of peptide binding to HLA-B*5102 and B*5103 molecules showed that a single amino acid substitution of Tyr for His at residue 171(B*5102) and that of Gly for Trp at residue 167 (B*5103) has a minimum effect in HLA-B51-peptide binding. Since previous studies showed that some HLA-B51 alloreactive CTL clones failed to kill the cells expressing HLA-B*5102 or HLA-B*5103, these results imply that the structural change of the A-pocket among HLA-B51 subtypes causes a critical conformational change of the epitope for TCR recognition rather than influences the interaction between peptides and MHC class I molecules.
