Abstract excerpt
The ATP-binding-cassette (ABC) transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) delivers peptides into the ER. TAP consists of two polypeptides (TAP1 and TAP2) each with an N-terminal transmembrane (TMD) and a C-terminal nucleotide binding domain (NBD). The two highly homologous NBDs of TAP show different nucleotide binding specificites, and identical mutations in the domains can have different effects on...
