Abstract excerpt
TAP, an ABC transporter in the ER membrane, provides antigenic peptides derived from proteasomal degradation to MHC class I molecules for inspection by cytotoxic T lymphocytes at the cell surface so as to trace malignant or infected cells. To investigate the minimal number of transmembrane segments (TMs) required for assembly of the TAP complex based on hydrophobicity algorithms and alignments with other ABC...
