Identification of Isopeptides Between Human Tissue Transglutaminase and Wheat, Rye, and Barley Gluten Peptides

Abstract: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated enteropathy of the small intestine, which is triggered by the ingestion of storage proteins (gluten) from wheat, rye, and barley in genetically predisposed individuals. Human tissue transglutaminase (TG2) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of CD, because it is responsible for specific gluten peptide deamidation and covalent crosslinking, resulting in the formation of N ε-(γ-glutamyl)-lysine isopeptide bonds. The resulting TG2-gluten peptide complexes are a… Show more

“…Digestion was performed by adding pepsin [750 µl, 0.2 mg/ml in 0.15 mol/L HCl, pH 2, enzyme/substrate (E:S) ratio of 1:20 (w/w)] to the alkylated residues and shaking for 60 min at 37 • C. After the peptic digest, the pH was adjusted to 6.5 with PBS (50 mmol/L). Then, trypsin and/or chymotrypsin [E:S of 1:20 for T or C, E:S of 1:40 for TC (w/w)] were added and the samples were hydrolyzed for 120 min at 37 • C. For TC digestion, TC was added to the alkylated residues [1 ml, 0.12 mg/ml T/C in 0.1 mol/L TRIS-HCl-buffer, E:S of 1:50 (w/w)] followed by incubation for 16 h at 37 • C. The digestions were stopped by heating for 10 min at 95 • C (37,40). TLY digestion [E:S of 1:20 (w/w)] was carried out in TRIS-HCl CaCl 2 buffer (0.2 mol/L TRIS, 0.5 mmol/L CaCl 2 • 2H 2 O, pH 6.5) at 37 • C for 16 h. The reaction was stopped with formic acid (FA) (41)(42)(43).…”

“…Typical features of CD-active peptides are high contents of proline (P) residues and a left-handed polyproline II helical conformation that protects from enzymatic degradation as well as high contents of glutamine (Q) residues that serve as substrates for deamidation or transamidation by human tissue transglutaminase (TG2) (107). Having reached the lamina propria, gluten peptides with QXP or QXXJ motifs (X, any amino acid, J, hydrophobic amino acid) are specifically deamidated (Q → E, introduction of a negatively charged glutamic acid residue) or transamidated by TG2 (either to itself or to other lysine donors) (108,109), whereas QP and QXXP motifs are left unmodified (110). Then, gluten peptides are bound to the heterodimeric HLA-DQ2 or -DQ8 receptors on the surface of APCs.…”

“…18 In CeD, active TG2 mediates the cross-linking of donor gluten peptides that are rich in glutamine to extracellular matrix proteins 19 and to itself (autocatalysis). 20,21 Importantly, in the absence of an acceptor protein, TG2 deamidates specific glutamine residues in the gluten peptides, resulting in their higher affinity binding to HLA-DQ2 or -DQ8 molecules on antigenpresenting cells (APCs). 22,23 Gluten-specific T cells recognize the APC-bound peptides and are activated, leading to expansion of pro-inflammatory gluten-specific CD4þ T helper 1 (T H 1) cells that centrally contribute to inflammation of the lamina propria, villous atrophy, and epithelial damage.…”
