In contrast, reactivity to prokaryotically expressed CYP2D6 protein and synthetic peptides is significantly lower in HCV infection than in AIH. The aim of the present study was to characterize LKM1 reactivity against a panel of eukaryotically expressed CYP2D6 constructs in the two conditions. LKM1-positive sera obtained from 16 patients with AIH and 16 with HCV infection were used as probes to perform a complete epitope mapping of CYP2D6. Reactivity to the full-length protein and 16 constructs thereof was determined by radioligand assay. We found that antigenicity is confined to the portion of the molecule C-terminal of aa 193, no reactivity being detectable against the aa sequence 1\u2013193. Reactivity increases stepwise toward the C-terminal in both AIH and HCV, but the frequency of reactivity in the two conditions differs significantly between aa 267\u2013337. To further characterize this region, we introduced a five and a three amino acid swap mutation selected from the homologous regions of CYP2C9 and HCV. This maneuver resulted in a substantial loss of LKM1 binding in both conditions, suggesting that this region contains a major epitope. Molecular modeling revealed that CYP2D6316\u2013327 is exposed on the surface of the protein, and may represent a key target for the autoantibody. These findings provide an initial characterization of the antigenic constitution of the target of LKM1 in AIH and HCV infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.169.1.277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,20]],"date-time":"2014-04-20T20:33:01Z","timestamp":1398025981000},"page":"277-285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Key Residues of a Major Cytochrome P4502D6 Epitope Are Located on the Surface of the Molecule"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"169","author":[{"given":"Yun","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hepatology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark G","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Centre for Genetic Anthropology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manabu","family":"Okamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hepatology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios P","family":"Bogdanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hepatology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sylvia","family":"Nagl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Bloomsbury Centre for Structural Biology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nanda","family":"Kerkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Liver Studies, King\u2019s College Hospital , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agnel R","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hepatology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Muratori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Cardioangiology, and Hepatology, University of Bologna , Bologna ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Lenzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Cardioangiology, and Hepatology, University of Bologna , Bologna ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco B","family":"Bianchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Cardioangiology, and Hepatology, University of Bologna , Bologna ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giorgina","family":"Mieli-Vergani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Liver Studies, King\u2019s College Hospital , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Diego","family":"Vergani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Hepatology, University College London , London ,","place":["United Kingdom"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026020208171227500_R1","first-page":"1231","volume-title":"J.
