Abstract excerpt
Class I histocompatibility molecules, consisting of a heavy chain, beta2-microglobulin and peptide, are assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with the assistance of several molecular chaperones and accessory proteins. Peptide binding occurs when assembling class I molecules associate with a loading complex consisting of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) peptide transporter, tapasin,...
