Human herpesvirus diversity is altered in HLA class I binding peptides

[Significance] Viruses evolve to evade immune recognition that may otherwise limit transmission. Presentation of virus peptides by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I is a necessary step in the recognition of infection by immune cells. Virus adaptation to evade this immune recognition has not been formally tested across the diversity of HLA class I allotypes and virus strains. We analyzed genetic diversity of three human herpesviruses across peptides that bind diverse HLA class I allotypes. We find that adaptation to evade HLA class I recognition may be a general phenomenon shaping human herpesvirus genetic diversity, particularly for those proteins expressed during viral latency. This broad scope, across human and virus diversity, provides a unique comparative perspective of human–herpesvirus coevolution.

Presentation of virus peptides by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I is a necessary step in the recognition of infection by immune cells. Virus adaptation to evade this immune recognition has not been formally tested across the diversity of HLA class I allotypes and virus strains. We analyzed genetic diversity of three human herpesviruses across peptides that bind diverse HLA class I allotypes. We find that adaptation to evade HLA class I recognition may be a general phenomenon shaping human herpesvirus genetic diversity, particularly for those proteins expressed during viral latency. This broad scope, across human and virus diversity, provides a unique comparative perspective of human–herpesvirus coevolution. Herpesviruses are ubiquitous, genetically diverse DNA viruses, with long-term presence in humans associated with infrequent but significant pathology. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I presents intracellularly derived peptide fragments from infected tissue cells to CD8+ T and natural killer cells, thereby directing antiviral immunity. Allotypes of highly polymorphic HLA class I are distinguished by their peptide binding repertoires. Because this HLA class I variation is a major determinant of herpesvirus disease, we examined if sequence diversity of virus proteins reflects evasion of HLA presentation. Using population genomic data from Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), and Varicella–Zoster virus, we tested whether diversity differed between the regions of herpesvirus proteins that can be recognized, or not, by HLA class I. Herpesviruses exhibit lytic and latent infection stages, with the latter better enabling immune evasion. Whereas HLA binding peptides of lytic proteins are conserved, we found that EBV and HCMV proteins expressed during latency have increased peptide sequence diversity. Similarly, latent, but not lytic, herpesvirus proteins have greater population structure in HLA binding than nonbinding peptides. Finally, we found patterns consistent with EBV adaption to the local HLA environment, with less efficient recognition of EBV isolates by high-frequency HLA class I allotypes. Here, the frequency of CD8+ T cell epitopes inversely correlated with the frequency of HLA class I recognition. Previous analyses have shown that pathogen-mediated natural selection maintains exceptional polymorphism in HLA residues that determine peptide recognition. Here, we show that HLA class I peptide recognition impacts diversity of globally widespread pathogens. This work was supported AQ15 by NIH Grants R56AI151549 (to P.J.N) and R01 AI158410 (to P.J.N).
