From the Peptides displayed on the cell surface by major
histocompatibility class I molecules (MHC class I) are generated by
proteolytic processing of protein-antigens in the cytoplasm. Initially,
antigens are degraded by the 26 S proteasome, most probably following
ubiquitination. However, it is unclear whether this proteolysis results
in the generation of MHC class I ligands or if further processing is required. To investigate the role of the 26 S proteasome in antigen presentation, we analyzed the processing of an intact antigen by
purified 26 S proteasome. A recombinant ornithine decarboxylase was
produced harboring the H-2Kb-restricted peptide
epitope, derived from ovalbumin SIINFEKL (termed ODC-ova). Utilizing
recombinant antizyme to target the antigen to the 26 S proteasome, we
found that proteolysis of ODC-ova by the 26 S proteasome resulted in
the generation of the Kb-ligand. Mass spectrometry analysis
indicated that in addition to SIINFEKL, the N-terminally extended
ligand, HSIINFEKL, was also generated. Production of SIINFEKL was
linear with time and directly proportional to the rate of ODC-ova
degradation. The overall yield of SIINFEKL was approximately 5% of the
amount of ODC-ova degraded. The addition of PA28, the 20 S, or the 20 S-PA28 complex to the 26 S proteasome did not significantly affect the yield of the antigenic peptide. These findings demonstrate that the 26 S proteasome can efficiently digest an intact physiological substrate
and generate an authentic MHC class I-restricted epitope.
