Immunological chaperones tapasin and TAP binding protein, related (TAPBPR) play key roles in antigenic peptide optimization and quality control of nascent class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) molecules. The polymorphic nature of MHC-I proteins leads to a range of allelic dependencies on chaperones for assembly and cell-surface expression, limiting chaperone-mediated peptide exchange to a restricted set of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allotypes. Here, we demonstrate and characterize xeno interactions between a chicken TAPBPR ortholog and a complementary repertoire of HLA allotypes, relative to its human counterpart. We find that TAPBPR orthologs recognize empty MHC-I with broader allele specificity and facilitate peptide exchange by maintaining a reservoir of receptive molecules. Deep mutational scanning of human TAPBPR further identifies gain-of-function mutants, resembling the chicken sequence, which can enhance HLA-A*01:01 expression in situ and promote peptide exchange in vitro. These results highlight that polymorphic sites on MHC-I and chaperone surfaces can be engineered to manipulate their interactions, enabling chaperone-mediated peptide exchange on disease-relevant HLA alleles.
