Peptide derived from BOB1 protein presented by HLA-B*07:02

Molecular classification
Peptide–MHC class I complex, Antigen-presenting molecule, Transcription factor (for BOB1 as source protein)
01

Overview

The "BOB1 peptide presented in HLA-B*07:02" refers to a short peptide fragment derived from the BOB1 (POU2AF1/OBF1) transcription factor, which is displayed on the cell surface in complex with the HLA-B*07:02 major histocompatibility complex class I molecule. This peptide–HLA complex is recognized by cytotoxic T cells and plays a critical role in immune surveillance against infected or malignant cells. The nature of the peptide, its affinity for HLA-B*07:02, and the presence of proline at the P2 anchor residue are essential for stable presentation[2][4][8]. While not a canonical drug target itself, specific peptide–HLA complexes are key targets in the development of cancer immunotherapies and can serve as biomarkers for precision immunotherapy approaches[5][7]. Note: - The entry as written ("BOB1 peptide presented in HLA-B*07:02") is not the standardized, canonical way to name such targets; a canonical form would specify the exact peptide sequence or refer to a broader class, such as "HLA-B*07:02–peptide complex" or, if focusing on source, "POU2AF1 (BOB1)–derived epitope in HLA-B*07:02." - Additional structured information (such as the exact peptide sequence and its immunogenicity) is needed for the most precise mapping and clinical utility[5][7]. If you can provide the **specific peptide sequence** or clarify which BOB1 epitope is meant, a more structured, canonical mapping can be generated.

Mechanism of action

T cell recognition and killing of cells presenting the peptide–HLA complex (via TCR activation). Immune modulation (peptide vaccines or adoptive T cell therapies aim to boost CTL response against peptide–HLA complexes).

03

Biological functions

Antigen presentationImmune surveillance/cytotoxic T cell recognition
04

Disease associations

Cancer (potentially as a tumor antigen, especially if BOB1 is overexpressed or mutated in tumors)Infection (target for viral, bacterial, tumor antigens presented via HLA-B*07:02)Other (autoimmunity if self-peptide-targeted)
05

Safety considerations

Off-target toxicity/autoimmunity (if the peptide is derived from a self-protein, risk of targeting non-malignant tissue)Immunogenicity variability between individuals (depends on HLA genotype and TCR repertoire)
06

Biomarkers

Presence of BOB1-derived peptide bound to HLA-B*07:02 on cell surface (can be used for patient selection in immunotherapy studies)HLA-B*07:02 genotype (used for stratifying patients and predicting response to HLA-restricted immunotherapies)
