Molecular characterization of the archaic HLA-B*73:01 allele reveals presentation of a unique peptidome and skewed engagement by KIR2DL2

Abstract

HLA class I alleles of archaic origin may have been retained in modern humans because they provide immunity against diseases to which archaic humans had evolved resistance. According to this model, archaic introgressed alleles were somehow distinct from those that evolved in African populations. Here we show that HLA-B*73:01, a rare allotype with putative archaic origins, has a relatively rare peptide binding motif with an unusually long-tailed peptide length distribution. We also find that HLA-B*73:01 combines a restricted and unique peptidome with high-cell surface expression, characteristics that make it well-suited to combat one or a number of closely-related pathogens. Furthermore, a crystal structure of HLA-B*73:01 in complex with KIR2DL2 highlights differences from previously solved structures with HLA-C molecules. These molecular characteristics distinguish HLA-B*73:01 from other HLA class I alleles previously investigated and may have provided early modern human migrants that inherited this allele with a selective advantage as they colonized Europe and Asia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
