主要组织相容性I类分子在细胞表面展示数万种肽,用于T细胞的免疫监视。肽库代表了几乎所有的细胞翻译产物,因此可以揭示细胞内的外源存在。这些肽不仅来源于常规的,而且来源于隐蔽的翻译阅读框架,包括一些没有常规AUG密码子的。为了确定产生这些隐蔽肽的机制,我们使用T细胞作为探针来分析转染细胞中产生的肽。我们发现,当CUG作为一个替代的起始密码子,它可以被解码为亮氨酸,而不是预期的蛋氨酸残基。亮氨酸起始不依赖于内部核糖体进入位点样mRNA结构,并且其效率通过Kozak核苷酸背景增强。此外,核糖体以真核翻译起始因子2非依赖性方式特异性扫描5′至3′端的CUG起始密码子。由于真核生物翻译起始因子2经常被靶向抑制蛋白质合成,这种新的翻译机制允许应激细胞展示抗原肽。这种起始机制也可以用于病毒转录物中经常发现的非AUG起始密码子以及越来越多的细胞基因。已经鉴定了蛋白质,其独特的翻译机制利用非常规的起始密码子
Major histocompatibility class I molecules display tens of thousands of peptides on the cell surface for immune surveillance by T cells. The peptide repertoire represents virtually all cellular translation products, and can thus reveal a foreign presence inside the cell. These peptides are derived from not only conventional but also cryptic translational reading frames, including some without conventional AUG codons. To define the mechanism that generates these cryptic peptides, we used T cells as probes to analyze the peptides generated in transfected cells. We found that when CUG acts as an alternate initiation codon, it can be decoded as leucine rather than the expected methionine residue. The leucine start does not depend on an internal ribosome entry site–like mRNA structure, and its efficiency is enhanced by the Kozak nucleotide context. Furthermore, ribosomes scan 5′ to 3′ specifically for the CUG initiation codon in a eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2–independent manner. Because eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 is frequently targeted to inhibit protein synthesis, this novel translation mechanism allows stressed cells to display antigenic peptides. This initiation mechanism could also be used at non-AUG initiation codons often found in viral transcripts as well as in a growing list of cellular genes. Proteins have been identified for which a unique translational machinery makes use of unconventional start codons
