Supplementary information

The target protein HLA A2 also known as HLA-A*0201 is an essential human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecule. It plays a central role in the immune system by presenting endogenously processed antigens to CD8+ T cells. The molecular weight of HLA A2 is approximately 45 kDa. This protein is expressed on almost all nucleated cells and interacts with β2-microglobulin which is necessary for its stability and transport to the cell surface.
Biological function summary

HLA A2 contributes to the adaptive immune response by presenting antigenic peptides derived from intracellular proteins to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It forms a heterotrimeric complex that includes HLA heavy chain β2-microglobulin and a peptide of approximately 8-10 amino acids. This complex is fundamental for the recognition of infected or transformed cells facilitating their destruction by the immune system.

Pathways

The target engages in immune response pathways especially the antigen processing and presentation pathway. It shares functions with other HLA class I molecules such as HLA-B and HLA-C which together coordinate the presentation of a diverse array of peptides to cytotoxic T cells. Moreover HLA A2 plays a role in the T-cell receptor signaling pathway which is important for the activation of immune responses.

HLA A2 has associations with several conditions including certain autoimmune diseases and cancers. Specifically it is linked to diseases like multiple sclerosis and melanoma where it influences the presentation of self or tumor antigens affecting immune system targeting. In these contexts HLA A2 interacts with other immune system components such as PD-L1 in melanoma which can modulate immune checkpoint pathways and impact disease progression.

Target data

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-A-restricted CD8-positive T cells, guiding antigen-specific T cell immune response to eliminate infected or transformed cells (PubMed : 10449296, PubMed : 12138174, PubMed : 12393434, PubMed : 1402688, PubMed : 15893615, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 19543285, PubMed : 21498667, PubMed : 24192765, PubMed : 24395804, PubMed : 2456340, PubMed : 2784196, PubMed : 28250417, PubMed : 7504010, PubMed : 7694806, PubMed : 9862734). 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 : 25880248, PubMed : 7506728, PubMed : 7679507). 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 : 12796775, PubMed : 18275829, PubMed : 19542454, PubMed : 28250417). Typically presents intracellular peptide antigens of 8 to 13 amino acids that arise from cytosolic proteolysis via IFNG-induced immunoproteasome or via endopeptidase IDE/insulin-degrading enzyme (PubMed : 17079320, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 20364150, PubMed : 26929325, PubMed : 27049119). Can bind different peptides containing allele-specific binding motifs, which are mainly defined by anchor residues at position 2 and 9 (PubMed : 7504010, PubMed : 9862734).. Allele A*01 : 01 : Presents a restricted peptide repertoire including viral epitopes derived from IAV NP/nucleoprotein (CTELKLSDY), IAV PB1/polymerase basic protein 1 (VSDGGPNLY), HAdV-11 capsid L3/hexon protein (LTDLGQNLLY), SARS-CoV-2 3a/ORF3a (FTSDYYQLY) as well as tumor peptide antigens including MAGE1 (EADPTGHSY), MAGEA3 (EVDPIGHLY) and WT1 (TSEKRPFMCAY), all having in common a canonical motif with a negatively charged Asp or Glu residue at position 3 and a Tyr anchor residue at the C-terminus (PubMed : 1402688, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 19177349, PubMed : 20364150, PubMed : 24395804, PubMed : 25880248, PubMed : 26758806, PubMed : 30530481, PubMed : 32887977, PubMed : 7504010). A number of HLA-A*01 : 01-restricted peptides carry a post-translational modification with oxidation and N-terminal acetylation being the most frequent (PubMed : 25880248). Fails to present highly immunogenic peptides from the EBV latent antigens (PubMed : 18779413).. Allele A*02 : 01 : A major allele in human populations, presents immunodominant viral epitopes derived from IAV M/matrix protein 1 (GILGFVFTL), HIV-1 env (TLTSCNTSV), HIV-1 gag-pol (ILKEPVHGV), HTLV-1 Tax (LLFGYPVYV), HBV C/core antigen (FLPSDFFPS), HCMV UL83/pp65 (NLVPMVATV) as well as tumor peptide antigens including MAGEA4 (GVYDGREHTV), WT1 (RMFPNAPYL) and CTAG1A/NY-ESO-1 (SLLMWITQC), all having in common hydrophobic amino acids at position 2 and at the C-terminal anchors.. Allele A*03 : 01 : Presents viral epitopes derived from IAV NP (ILRGSVAHK), HIV-1 nef (QVPLRPMTYK), HIV-1 gag-pol (AIFQSSMTK), SARS-CoV-2 N/nucleoprotein (KTFPPTEPK) as well as tumor peptide antigens including PMEL (LIYRRRLMK), NODAL (HAYIQSLLK), TRP-2 (RMYNMVPFF), all having in common hydrophobic amino acids at position 2 and Lys or Arg anchor residues at the C-terminus (PubMed : 19543285, PubMed : 21943705, PubMed : 2456340, PubMed : 32887977, PubMed : 7504010, PubMed : 7679507, PubMed : 9862734). May also display spliced peptides resulting from the ligation of two separate proteasomal cleavage products that are not contiguous in the parental protein (PubMed : 27049119)..

Interacts with natural killer (NK) cell receptor KIR3DL1 and may contribute to functional maturation of NK cells and self-nonself discrimination during innate immune response (PubMed : 17182537, PubMed : 18502829).. Allele A*26 : 01 : Presents several epitopes derived from HIV-1 gag-pol (EVIPMFSAL, ETKLGKAGY) and env (LVSDGGPNLY), carrying as anchor residues preferentially Glu at position 1, Val or Thr at position 2 and Tyr at the C-terminus..
