Three hundred twenty-six genetic variations in genes encoding nine members of ATP-binding cassette, subfamily B (ABCB/MDR/TAP), in the Japanese population.
J Hum Genet. 2002;47(1):38-50., [PMID:11829140]

Abstract [show]
We screened DNAs from 48 Japanese individuals for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nine genes encoding components of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B (ABCB/MDR/TAP) by directly sequencing the entire applicable genomic regions except for repetitive elements. This approach identified 297 SNPs and 29 insertion/deletion polymorphisms among the nine genes. Of the 297 SNPs, 50 were identified in the ABCB1 gene, 14 in TAP], 35 in TAP2, 48 in ABCB4, 13 in ABCB7, 21 in ABCB8, 21 in ABCB9, 13 in ABCB10, and 82 in ABCB11. Thirteen were located in 5' flanking regions, 237 in introns, 37 in exons, and 10 in 3' flanking regions. These variants may contribute to investigations of possible correlations between genotypes and disease-susceptibility phenotypes or responsiveness to drug therapy.

Genetic association analysis of TAP1 and TAP2 polymorphisms with aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease and its FEV1 decline.
J Hum Genet. 2011 Sep;56(9):652-9. doi: 10.1038/jhg.2011.75. Epub 2011 Jul 28., [PMID:21796142]

Abstract [show]
Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) induces bronchoconstriction in asthmatic patients characterized with a clinical condition of severe decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) after ingestion of aspirin. Two genes consisting a heterodimer, transporter 1 and 2, ATP-binding cassette, sub-family B (MDR/TAP) (TAP1 and TAP2) within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, have been implicated in immunodeficiency and bronchiectasis development. To investigate the associations of TAP1 and TAP2 genetic polymorphisms with AERD and phenotypic FEV1 decline, a total of 43 common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including 12 SNPs of TAP1 and 31 SNPs of TAP2 were genotyped in 93 AERD patients and 96 aspirin-tolerant asthma controls. Interestingly, regression analysis revealed that polymorphisms and haplotypes of TAP2 were associated with FEV1 decline by aspirin provocation (P=0.002-0.04), with about twofold decline rate of FEV1 in most of minor homozygotes compared with major homozygotes. In addition, nominal evidences of association between TAP2 and AERD development were observed (P=0.02-0.04). However, TAP1 polymorphisms showed no relations to both AERD and FEV1 decline after aspirin challenge (P>0.05). Although further functional evaluations and replications are required, our preliminary findings provide supporting information that variants of TAP2 might be predisposing factors for FEV1 decline-related symptoms.

Variation in the ATP-binding cassette transporter 2 gene is a separate risk factor for systemic lupus erythematosus within the MHC.
Genes Immun. 2009 Jun;10(4):350-5. Epub 2009 Apr 23., [PMID:19387463]

Abstract [show]
The ATP-binding cassette transporter (TAP) proteins are functionally relevant candidates for predisposition to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by virtue of their role in autoantigen presentation and location in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). We tested if variation in the TAP genes (TAP1 and TAP2) is associated with SLE. We genotyped tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed family-based association analysis on 390 Caucasian pedigrees. We found significant evidence of association between TAP2 and SLE (rs241453, P=1.33 x 10(-6)). Conditional logistic regression analysis suggests that this TAP2 effect is separate from the HLA-DRB1 alleles. Our analyses show that both rs241453 (P=1.6 x 10(-4)) and HLA-DRB1*03xx (P=2.3 x 10(-4)) have significant autonomous effects not due to linkage disequilibrium. Moreover, these loci exhibit a significant statistical interaction (P<1.0 x 10(-6)), demonstrated by an increase in the odds ratio for the TAP2 association from OR=2.00 (95% confidence interval (CI)=1.17-3.42) in HLA-DRB1*03xx-negative subjects to OR=4.29 (CI=1.88-9.76) in the subjects with at least one HLA-DRB1*03xx allele group. We report the largest association study of the TAP genes with SLE to date, and the first to test for its separate effect and interaction with the HLA alleles consistently associated with SLE.

66 Past studies of TAP2 association with SLE have focused on three specific amino acids (V379I (rs1800454), A565 T (rs2228396) and T665A (rs241447)), had modest sample sizes (B100-200 cases) in ethnically diverse populations and were collectively inconclusive.7-11 Of these three SNPs, only rs241447 was included in our analyses, and it yielded a modest association.

MHC loci affecting cervical cancer risk: distinguishing the effects of HLA-DQB1 and non-HLA genes TNF, LTA, TAP1 and TAP2.
Genes Immun. 2008 Oct;9(7):613-23. Epub 2008 Jul 24., [PMID:18650831]

Abstract [show]
Cervical cancer has been associated with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes/alleles and with polymorphisms at the nearby non-HLA loci TNF, LTA, TAP1 and TAP2. Distinguishing effects of individual loci in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region are difficult due to the complex linkage disequilibrium (LD) pattern characterized by high LD, punctuated by recombination hot spots. We have evaluated the association of polymorphism at HLA class II DQB1 and the TNF, LTA, TAP1 and TAP2 genes with cervical cancer risk, using 1306 familial cases and 288 controls. DQB1 was strongly associated; alleles *0301, *0402 and (*)0602 increased cancer susceptibility, whereas *0501 and *0603 decreased susceptibility. Among the non-HLA loci, association was only detected for the TAP2 665 polymorphism, and interallelic disequilibrium analysis indicated that this could be due to LD with DQB1. As the TAP2 665 association was seen predominantly in non-carriers of DQB1 susceptibility alleles, we hypothesized that TAP2 665 may have an effect not attributable to LD with DQB1. However, a logistic regression analysis suggested that TAP2 665 was strongly influenced by LD with DQB1. Our results emphasize the importance of large sample sizes and underscore the necessity of examining both HLA and non-HLA loci in the MHC to assign association to the correct locus.

Comments [show]

The TAP2 A565T, which is homologous to position 507 in CFTR, does not significantly affect cervical cancer risk (see Table 2).

Genes of the LMP/TAP cluster are associated with the human autoimmune disease vitiligo.
Genes Immun. 2003 Oct;4(7):492-9., [PMID:14551602]

Abstract [show]
Genes within the class II region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), including genes involved in antigen processing and presentation, have been reported to be associated with several autoimmune diseases. We report here that the LMP/TAP gene region is significantly associated with vitiligo, a disorder in which biochemical defects and/or autoimmune destruction cause melanocyte loss and resulting skin depigmentation. Case/control analyses revealed genetic association of vitiligo in Caucasian patients with an early age of onset with the transporter associated with antigen processing-1 (TAP1) gene. A family-based association method revealed biased transmission of specific alleles from heterozygous parents to affected offspring for the TAP1 gene, as well as for the closely linked LMP2 and LMP7 genes encoding subunits of the immunoproteasome. No association with vitiligo was found for the MECL1 gene, which encodes a third immunoproteasome subunit and is unlinked to the MHC class II region. These results suggest a possible role for the MHC class I antigen processing and/or presentation pathway in the antimelanocyte autoimmune response involved in vitiligo pathogenesis.

54 Using a whole genome scan of a large family cluster with both vitiligo and Hashimoto thyroiditis, a general autoimmune susceptibility locus (AIS1) was mapped to human chromosome 1, and evidence was reported for a Hashimoto disease susceptibility locus within a chromosome 6 region spanning both the MHC and AIDT1, a non-MHC locus associated with susceptibility to both Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves` disease.24 A linkage disequilibrium analysis of 56 multigeneration Columbian families with vitiligo using microsatellite markers spanning the entire human MHC region revealed a major genetic factor within the MHC at 6p21.3-21.4, with a dominant mode of inheritance in vitiligo patients with an early age of onset and a recessive mode of inheritance influenced by environmental effects in vitiligo patients with an age of onset after 30 years of age.10 Comparisons of a variety of inheritance models suggested that the most parsimonious genetic model was that of a major Table 4 Genotype frequencies of LMP/TAP and MECL1 candidate genes in Caucasian vitiligo patients and (age of onset 0-29 years) control subjects Vitiligo patients Controls Gene Polymorphism Genotype Count Percentage Count Percentage P-value LMP2 G/A exon 3 (R60H) GG 6 6.3 12 6.6 0.095 GA 50 52.6 71 39.2 AA 39 41.1 98 54.1 TAP1 C/T intron 7 CC 21 23.3 27 17.3 0.47 CT 38 42.2 67 43.0 TT 31 34.5 62 39.7 TAP1 G/A exon 10 (D637G) AA 1 1.0 8 4.6 0.0094 AG 27 27.6 73 42.0 GG 70 71.4 93 53.4 LMP7 A/C exon 2 (Q49K) AA 73 77.7 131 78.0 0.98 CA 19 20.2 34 20.2 CC 2 2.1 3 1.8 LMP7 G/T intron 6 GG 26 28.6 28 16.9 0.077 GT 43 47.3 86 51.8 TT 22 24.2 52 31.3 TAP2 A/G exon 5 (V379I) AA 9 9.8 14 8.0 0.84 AG 22 23.9 46 26.1 GG 61 66.3 116 65.9 TAP2 A/G exon 11 (T665A) AA 51 52.6 90 48.9 0.83 AG 37 38.1 77 41.9 GG 9 9.3 17 9.2 MECL1 T/C exon4(L107L) TT 60 65.9 107 66.9 0.98 TC 26 28.6 45 28.1 CC 5 5.5 8 5.0 dominant gene plus environmental effects, although multifactorial models could not be rejected.10 Many other HLA associations have been reported between specific alleles of complement, class I and class II MHC genes with vitiligo in various ethnic and racial subpopulations (reviewed in Friedmann9 ), but no common HLA association is observed.

Analysis of MHC encoded antigen-processing genes TAP1 and TAP2 polymorphisms in sarcoidosis.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 1999 Sep;160(3):1009-14., [PMID:10471632]

Abstract [show]
Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Several studies have suggested involvement of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes in sarcoidosis susceptibility. HLA associations described have not been consistent, possibly because of additional susceptibility genes adjacent to or within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) such as genes for the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). The aim of this study was to analyze TAP gene polymorphisms in patients with sarcoidosis using the amplificatory refraction mutation system (ARMS) PCR. To determine whether any association between TAP gene variation and sarcoidosis was ethnic-independent we examined two European populations: 117 unrelated UK Caucasoid patients with sarcoidosis and 290 healthy UK control subjects, and 87 unrelated Polish Slavonic patients with sarcoidosis and 158 healthy Polish control subjects. We detected significant differences in TAP2 between the UK control and patient groups, and in TAP2 between the Polish control and patient groups. Comparing the UK and Polish control groups, we observed a difference in TAP1. Examination of HLA-DPB1 in our UK population showed no associations with disease or between variants at the TAP gene loci and HLA-DPB1 variants. These results suggest associations at the TAP loci occur independently of HLA-DPB1 associations, that TAP associations seen may be involved in determining sarcoidosis susceptibility, and that such susceptibilities differ between UK and Polish populations. This first study of TAP genes in UK and Polish sarcoid populations has demonstrated the importance of using multiple defined ethnic populations in defining the role genetic factors play in sarcoidosis susceptibility and the importance of candidate gene studies.

Linkage disequilibrium between TAP2 variants and HLA class II alleles; no primary association between TAP2 variants and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
Eur J Immunol. 1993 May;23(5):1050-6., [PMID:8477801]

Abstract [show]
The TAP1 and TAP2 genes, located in the HLA class II region, encode subunits of a peptide transporter. Both genes display limited genetic variability; four different nucleotide substitutions have been found in the TAP2 gene. Here studies on linkage disequilibrium between TAP2 variants and HLA class II alleles are reported, in an attempt to evaluate whether TAP2 variants are associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). As reported previously, a significant decrease of homozygosity for TAP2 alleles encoding alanine at residue 665 (665 Ala) and glutamine at 687 (687 Gln) paralleled by an increase in homozygosity for TAP2 alleles encoding threonine at residue 665 (665 Thr) and a stop codon at 687 (687 Stop), was found in both Finnish and Norwegian IDDM patients compared to random controls. However, a strong linkage disequilibrium between these TAP2 polymorphisms and given HLA-DR and -DQ genes was observed among healthy controls. The frequent 665 Thr and 687 Stop variants were in linkage disequilibrium both with the DR4-DQ8 and the DR3-DQ2 haplotypes, haplotypes which are strongly associated with IDDM. In contrast, the DR1-DQ5 and DR13-DQ6 (e.g. DQB1*0603) haplotypes, which are decreased among IDDM patients, were associated with the 665 Ala and 687 Gln variants. Thus, when DR- and DQ-matched patients and controls were compared, associations of the investigated TAP2 variants and IDDM were no longer detectable. These data, therefore, indicate that the associations previously found between certain TAP2 variants and IDDM are secondary to a primary association between this disease and particular DQ alpha beta heterodimers.

Alleles and haplotypes of the MHC-encoded ABC transporters TAP1 and TAP2.
Immunogenetics. 1993;37(5):373-80., [PMID:8428770]

Abstract [show]
TAP1 and TAP2 are two major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes, located between HLA-DP and -DQ, whose products form a transporter molecule involved in endogenous antigen processing. Polymorphic residues have been described in both genes and, in this study, we have identified another polymorphic site within the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding domain of TAP2. We have used the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to characterize TAP1 and TAP2 alleles and haplotypes in a reference panel of 115 homozygous typing cell lines. Of four possible TAP1 alleles, we observed three, and of eight possible TAP2 alleles, we observed five. Among 88 (homozygous typing cells) (HTCs) homozygous at HLA-DR, -DQ and -DP, 80 were also homozygous at TAP1 and TAP2. Of 27 HTCs homozygous at HLA-DR and -DQ, but heterozygous at -DP, 14 were homozygous at TAP1 or TAP2 and 13 heterozygous, consistent with recombination taking place either side of the TAP loci. Of the fifteen possible combinations of TAP1 and TAP2 alleles, we observed eleven, each at a frequency similar to that predicted by individual allele frequencies. In this ethnically heterogenous panel there is no indication that particular combinations of TAP1 and TAP2 have been maintained together.

TAP1 and TAP2 polymorphism in coeliac disease.
Immunogenetics. 1993;38(5):345-50., [PMID:8344720]

Abstract [show]
Coeliac disease is strongly associated with HLA-DQ2, but it is possible that additional major histocompatibility complex genes also confer disease susceptibility. Encoded close to HLA-DQ are two genes, TAP1 and TAP2, whose products are believed to transport antigenic peptides from the cytoplasm into the endoplasmic reticulum. Comparison of 81 coeliac disease patients with caucasoid controls revealed an increased frequency of the alleles TAP1A and TAP2A in the patient population. However, no significant difference was found when patients were compared with HLA-DR and -DQ matched controls, indicating linkage disequilibrium between TAP1A, TAP2A, and HLA-DQ2. The TAP gene products do not have a major influence on susceptibility or resistance to coeliac disease in a Northern European Caucasoid population.

Genomic polymorphism, recombination, and linkage disequilibrium in human major histocompatibility complex-encoded antigen-processing genes.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1992 Dec 1;89(23):11594-7., [PMID:1360671]

Abstract [show]
Recently, two subunits of a large cytosolic protease and two putative peptide transporter proteins were found to be encoded by genes within the class II region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). These genes have been suggested to be involved in the processing of antigenic proteins for presentation by MHC class I molecules. Because of the high degree of polymorphism in MHC genes, and previous evidence for both functional and polypeptide sequence polymorphism in the proteins encoded by the antigen-processing genes, we tested DNA from 27 consanguineous human cell lines for genomic polymorphism by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. These studies demonstrate a strong linkage disequilibrium between TAP1 and LMP2 RFLPs. Moreover, RFLPs, as well as a polymorphic stop codon in the telomeric TAP2 gene, appear to be in linkage disequilibrium with HLA-DR alleles and RFLPs in the HLA-DO gene. A high rate of recombination, however, seems to occur in the center of the complex, between the TAP1 and TAP2 genes.

New transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP-2) polymorphisms in the Shona people of Zimbabwe.
Hum Immunol. 2003 Jul;64(7):733-40., [PMID:12826376]

Abstract [show]
Most studies, to date, on transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP2) polymorphism have been conducted in Caucasians or Asians from industrialized countries. Because of the essential role of this molecule in antigen processing, the implication that polymorphism could be a major factor in human disease and the possible genetic variation at this locus among ethnically diverse populations, we undertook a study to analyze the full extent of TAP2 polymorphism in an indigenous Zimbabwean population (Shona ethnic group). Using single-stranded conformation polymorphism and DNA direct sequencing procedures, we detected the presence of 17 nucleotide sequence variations in the entire coding region of TAP2. Of these variants, 11 are nonconservative substitutions with respect to amino acid composition and are located in a region of the protein that could modulate its function. Six new polymorphic sites were identified in exon 1 (codons 15 Val-->Ala, 53 Leu-->Val), exon 3 (codon 220 Arg-->Arg), exon 4 (codons 257 Thr-->Ile, 313 Arg-->His), and exon10 (codon 609 Ala-->Val). Significant differences were seen in the distribution of the known 374Thr, 565Thr and 651Cys variants between African and non-African populations. These differences may reflect evolutionary pressures generated by environmental factors, such as prevalent pathogens in these geographically distinct regions. Further studies are needed to elucidate the net impact of TAP2 polymorphism on the protein's function and it's role in disease pathogenesis.

Hum Mol Genet. 2000 Mar 22;9(5):725-33., [PMID:10749979]

Abstract [show]
Little is known about the nature of recombination hotspots in the human genome and the relationship between crossover activity and patterns of linkage disequilibrium. We have therefore used both haplotype analysis and direct detection of crossovers in sperm to characterize a putative recombination hotspot in the TAP2 gene within the class II region of the MHC. Haplotype diversity provided evidence for a localized hotspot within intron 2 of this gene. Sperm DNA typing using allele-specific PCR primers to selectively amplify recombinant TAP2 molecules revealed a highly localized meiotic crossover hotspot approximately 1.2 kb long, unusually abundant in sequence polymorphisms and flanked by DNA much less active in recombination. Sperm crossover appeared to be fully reciprocal, and almost all crossover products were simple, involving a single exchange between adjacent heterozygous markers. This hotspot appears to be much more active in female than male meiosis. No primary sequence similarities could be found between any of the very few well defined crossover hotspots in the human genome, all of which show recombinationally active domains 1-2 kb long. Direct comparison of recombination frequency and haplotype diversity in TAP2 showed that linkage disequilibrium measures were a poor predictor of crossover frequency in this region, with non-recombining markers sometimes in free association and with examples of pairs of markers spanning the recombination hotspot showing substantial or even absolute linkage disequilibrium.

Characterization and allelic variation of the transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP) genes in the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris).

Abstract [show]
The function of the transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP) complex is to shuttle antigenic peptides from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum to load MHC class I molecules for CD8(+) T-cell immunosurveillance. Here we report the promoter and coding regions of the canine TAP1 and TAP2 genes, which encode the homologous subunits forming the TAP heterodimer. By sampling genetically divergent breeds, polymorphisms in both genes were identified, although there were few amino acid differences between alleles. Splice variants were also found. When aligned to TAP genes of other species, functional regions appeared conserved, and upon phylogenetic analysis, canine sequences segregated appropriately with their orthologs. Transfer of the canine TAP2 gene into a murine TAP2-defective cell line rescued surface MHC class I expression, confirming exporter function. This data should prove useful in investigating the association of specific TAP defects or alleles with immunity to intracellular pathogens and cancer in dogs.
