[ | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HLAB_HUMAN HLAB_HUMAN] Antigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule. In complex with B2M/beta 2 microglobulin displays primarily viral and tumor-derived peptides on antigen-presenting cells for recognition by alpha-beta T cell receptor (TCR) on HLA-B-restricted CD8-positive T cells, guiding antigen-specific T cell immune response to eliminate infected or transformed cells (PubMed:23209413, PubMed:25808313, PubMed:29531227, PubMed:9620674). May also present self-peptides derived from the signal sequence of secreted or membrane proteins, although T cells specific for these peptides are usually inactivated to prevent autoreactivity (PubMed:18991276, PubMed:7743181). Both the peptide and the MHC molecule are recognized by TCR, the peptide is responsible for the fine specificity of antigen recognition and MHC residues account for the MHC restriction of T cells (PubMed:24600035, PubMed:29531227, PubMed:9620674). Typically presents intracellular peptide antigens of 8 to 13 amino acids that arise from cytosolic proteolysis via constitutive proteasome and IFNG-induced immunoproteasome (PubMed:23209413).

Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Increased susceptibility to Stevens-Johnson syndrome is conferred by allele B*15:02.[1] Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A restricted number of HLA-B*27 subtypes can be associated with ankylosing spondylitis and other B*27-related diseases, and an elevated frequency of the B*27:02 allele in ankylosing spondylitis patients is identified. The allele B*27:07 seems to have a protective role in some populations because it was found only in the healthy controls.[2] There is evidence that HLA-B*51 is associated with susceptibility to Behcet disease (BD). However, it is not certain whether HLA-B*51 itself or a closely linked gene is responsible for susceptibility. The world distribution of HLA-B*51 in healthy people corresponds to the global distribution of BD; in Southern hemisphere countries (Africa, South Pacific, etc.) and in some parts of Europe, the prevalence of HLA-B*51 in healthy people is low or null, corresponding to a low prevalence of BD. The wide variation that exists in the relative risk of HLA-B*51 would support other nongenetic risk factors.[3] The presence of allele B*57:01 is associated with increased susceptibility to abacavir hypersensitivity [MIM:142830 in HIV-1 patients.[4] Allele group B*08 is associated with increased susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis, where affected individuals have antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP-positive rheumatoid arthritis).[5] FunctionHLAB_HUMAN Antigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule.

Here we have evaluated the molecular imprint of variant peptide-MHC complexes on the T-cell repertoire during human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and demonstrate that primary co-infection with genetic variants of CMV was coincident with development of strain-specific T-cell immunity followed by emergence of cross-reactive virus-specific T-cells. Cross-reactive CMV-specific T cells exhibited a highly conserved public T cell repertoire, while T cells directed towards specific genetic variants displayed oligoclonal repertoires, unique to each individual. T cell recognition foot-print and pMHC-I structural analyses revealed that the cross-reactive T cells accommodate alterations in the pMHC complex with a broader foot-print focussing on the core of the peptide epitope. These findings provide novel molecular insight into how infection with naturally occurring genetic variants of persistent human herpesviruses imprints on the evolution of the anti-viral T-cell repertoire.
