Abstract

The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has evolved a set of elegant strategies to evade host immunity. The HCMV-encoded type I glycoprotein US6 inhibits peptide trafficking from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum and subsequent peptide loading of major histocompatibility complex I molecules by blocking the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). We studied the molecular mechanism of TAP inhibition by US6 in vitro. By using purified US6 and human TAP co-reconstituted in proteoliposomes, we demonstrate that the isolated endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-luminal domain of US6 is essential and sufficient to block TAP-dependent peptide transport. Neither the overall amount of bound peptides nor the peptide affinity of TAP is affected by US6. Interestingly, US6 causes a specific arrest of the peptide-stimulated ATPase activity of TAP by preventing binding of ATP but not ADP. The affinity of the US6-TAP interaction was determined to 1 microm. The ER-luminal domain of US6 is monomeric in solution and consists of 19% alpha-helices, 25% beta-sheets, and 27% beta-turns. All eight cysteine residues are involved in forming a stabilizing network of four intramolecular disulfide bridges. Glycosylation of US6 is not required for funct...Continue Reading
