Immunity - 1 Oct 2001
Boname J M, Stevenson P G
Abstract excerpt
The murine gamma-herpesvirus-68 K3 (MK3) is a PHD/LAP finger protein that downregulates major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression. In transfected cell lines, MK3 was expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, where it bound the cytoplasmic tail of newly synthesized H-2D(b) glycoproteins and targeted them for degradation. Proteasome inhibitors blocked the degradation and led to an...
