Human cytomegalovirus US3 impairs transport and maturation of major histocompatibility complex class I heavy chains.

Abstract: The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) early glycoprotein products of the US1l and US2 open reading frames cause increased turnover of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains. Since US2 is homologous to another HCMV gene (US3), we hypothesized that the US3 gene product also may affect MHC class I expression. In cells constitutively expressing the HCMV US3 gene, MHC class I heavy chains formed a stable complex with 132-microglobulin. However, maturation of the N-linked glycan of MHC class I heavy … Show more

“…Although the hCMV US gene products US2, 3, 6, and 11 can reduce the MHC class I antigen expression level on the cell surface after a viral infection by various mechanisms [22][23][24][25][26], it is not known if US gene transfection affects the MHC class I expression on stem cells. Therefore, this study tested MHC class I expression on US genetransfected HB1.F3 cells or mock-transfected cells 48 h after the IFN-c treatment using immunofluorescence analysis.…”

“…3A). Although the identity of this protein is unknown, its size is consistent with the molecular masses of class I heavy chains from other species (Campbell & Slater, 1994;Jones & Sun, 1997) and therefore it is possible that this protein is the guinea pig class I heavy chain.…”

“…These strains express a number of proteins designed to modify host immune responses, including four that down-regulate surface expression of MHC class I (Ahn et al, 1997;Jones et al, 1995Jones et al, , 1996Jones & Sun, 1997;Wiertz et al, 1996). As antigen presentation by class I is critical for induction of both cell-and antibody-mediated host immunity, down-regulation of class I by vaccine strains is counter-intuitive to induction of robust immune responses.…”

“…Finally, the importance of the dissociation of the tapasin-ERp57 conjugate in regulating the release of MHC class I molecules is further emphasized by studies indicating that human cytomegalovirus has evolved to specifically target the tapasin-ERp57 conjugate for immune evasion. The human cytomegalovirus US3 glycoprotein inhibits the transport of MHC class I molecules from the ER (Ahn et al, 1996;Jones et al, 1996). Recently, the US3 protein has been shown to target the degradation of PDI for CD8 ϩ T-cell evasion (Park et al, 2006).…”
