Abstract excerpt
Peptide loading of MHC class II (MHCII) molecules is assisted by HLA-DM, which releases invariant chain peptides from newly synthesized MHCII and edits the peptide repertoire. Determinants of susceptibility of peptide/MHCII complexes to DM remain controversial, however. Here we have measured peptide dissociation in the presence and the absence of DM for 36 different complexes of varying intrinsic stability. We...
