Abstract
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) processing and presentation machinery (APPM) is altered in various diseases and in response to drug treatments. Defects in the machinery may change presentation levels or alter the repertoire of presented peptides, globally or in an HLA allele restricted manner, with direct implications for adaptive immunity. In this study, we investigated the immunopeptidome landscape across a panel of isogenic HAP1 cell line clones each with a knock-out of a single gene encoding a key protein in the APPM, including B2M, TAP1, TAP2, TAPBP, IRF2, PDIA3, ERAP1, GANAB, SPPL3, CANX, and CALR. We applied immunopeptidomic and proteomic to assess the successful gene knock-outs on the protein level, to understand how these proteins participate in antigen presentation, and to contextualize protein expression and antigen presentation. We validated the absence of the knocked-out proteins in the respective samples and found that knocking-out an APPM component leads to the loss of peptide subsets that are normally presented on the control wild type cells. We assessed the immunopeptidomes qualitatively and quantitatively, considering factors like peptide diversity, peptide length distribution, and binding affinity to the endogenously expressed HLA alleles in HAP1 cells. We demonstrated a prominent HLA allele-specific alterations in several knock-out conditions. The absence of CALR, CANX, and TAP1 led to significant changes in HLA allele-specific presentation levels. Overall, this work represents the first systematic analysis of how the absence of individual APPM components, knocked out in a single cell line under controlled conditions, affects the peptidome. This approach could facilitate the creation of predictive tools capable of prioritizing HLA-bound peptides likely to be presented when presentation defects occur, such as in cancer and viral infections.
