== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Rabbits are pivotal domestic animals for both the economy and as an animal model for human diseases. A large number of rabbits have been infected by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) in natural and artificial pandemics in the past. Differences in presentation of antigenic peptides by polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules to T-cell receptors (TCR) on T lymphocytes are associated with viral clearance in mammals. Herein, we screened and identified a series of peptides derived from RHDV binding to the rabbit MHC class I molecule, RLA-A1. The small, hydrophobic B and F pockets of RLA-A1 capture a peptide motif analogous to that recognized by human class I molecule HLA-A*0201, with more restricted aliphatic anchors at P2 and POmega positions. Meanwhile, the rabbit molecule is featured with an uncommon residue combination of Gly53, Val55 and Glu56, making the 310 helix and the loop between the 310 and alpha1 helices closer to the alpha2 helix. A wider A pocket in RLA-A1 can induce a special conformation of the P1 anchor and may play a pivotal role in peptide assembly and TCR recognition. Our study broadens the knowledge on T-cell immunity in domestic animals and also provides useful insights for vaccine development to prevent infectious diseases in rabbits.IMPORTANCE We screened rabbit MHC class I RLA-A1-restricted peptides from the capsid protein VP60 of Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and determined the structures of RLA-A1 complexed with three peptides, VP60-1, VP60-2 and VP60-10. From the structures, we found that the peptide binding motifs of RLA-A1 are extremely constraining. Thus, there is a generally restricted peptide selection for RLA-A1 compared to human HLA-A*0201. In addition, uncommon residues Gly53, Val55 and Glu56 of RLA-A1 are located between 310 helix and alpha1 helix which makes the steric position of 310 helix in RLA-A1 much closer to the alpha2 helix than other mammalian MHC class I molecules. This special conformation between 310 helix and alpha1 helix plays a pivotal role in rabbit MHC class I assembly. Our results provide new insights into MHC class I molecule assembly and peptide presentation of domestic mammals. Furthermore, these data also broaden our knowledge on T-cell immunity in rabbits and may also provide useful information for vaccine development to prevent infectious diseases in rabbits.
