The effects of DM on the generation of receptive DR1. (a and b) The effects of DM on the binding of HAAnchorless peptide to wt and DR1βG86Y. 2.4 μM DR1βG86Y (a) and wt (b) were incubated with 100 μM FITC-HAAnchorless peptide for various times in the absence (○) and presence (▪) of DM (1 μM, 0.15 M citrate phosphate buffer, pH 6.0, at 37°C). The calculated rates for peptide binding to DR1βG86Y, in the absence and presence of DM, to wtDR1 in the presence of DM, and to the receptive wtDR1, were all very similar and ranged between 0.47 and 0.61 s−1μM−1. (c) The kinetics of HA peptide binding to dissociating DR1–HAAnchorless complex. 50 μM FITC-HA was incubated with 2.4 μM DR1–AMCA–HAAnchorless complex (isolated by size-exclusion chromatography, citrate buffer, pH 6.0) for various times at 37°C. The unbound peptides were then removed by Sephadex G-50 spin columns in PBS. Samples were read at two wavelengths of 345 (AMCA) and 514 nm (fluorescein). The dissociation data (▪) were fit to a single exponential decay curve. The HA association (○) data were fit to a single exponential binding curve.
