Ubiquitous Autofragmentation of Fluorescent Proteins Creates Abundant Defective Ribosomal Products (DRiPs) for Immunosurveillance

Abstract: Background: Fragments are rapidly generated from GFP. Results: Fragmentation occurs in all fluorescent proteins examined, requires chromophore rearrangement, and is a major source of MHC-I ligands. Conclusion: Fragmentation, a by-product of chromophore rearrangement, creates DRiPs. Significance: Fluorescent protein fragments are generated at high levels, likely influencing experimental outcomes. GFP fragments are the first natural DRiPs biochemically characterized relevant for immunosurveillance.

“…2). Although the auto-catalytic cleavage of GFP in NP-S-GFP (28), responsible for ~50% of its DRiP dependent K b -SIINFEKL generation, makes it a highly unusual substrate, we also observe MLN7243-resistant (or even enhanced) presentation of a two IAV peptides generated from unmodified viral proteins in IAV infected-cells, NP 147–155 , previously described as proteasome dependent (48), and PB1 703–711 , whose proteasome-dependence can be inferred by its dependence on immunoproteasome subunit expression (4). …”

“…A number of immunogenic MHC-I-restricted peptides have been identified within VACV genes that are classified as late genes. Notably, Ag presentation by virus-infected cells (direct presentation) most often uses recently synthesized, rapidly degraded Ag, which may not be correctly folded, as substrate for the manufacture of immunogenic peptides (3,34,42,43). Therefore, the levels of mRNA from which these substrates can be generated are more relevant to Ag presentation than the levels of intact correctly folded protein, which they can also generate.…”

“…These peptide-MHC-I complexes (p-MHC-I) can be generated via two spatially distinct pathways. Virus-infected cells present peptides derived primarily from a subset of viral proteins that are rapidly degraded in a process known as direct presentation (2,3). Alternatively, long-lived protein substrates may be transferred from virus-infected cells to professional APC (pAPC), where they are processed and presented by uninfected cells via the cross-presentation pathway (4)(5)(6).…”
