Abstract excerpt
The transporter associated with Ag processing (TAP) translocates antigenic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum for binding onto MHC class I (MHC I) molecules. Tapasin organizes a peptide-loading complex (PLC) by recruiting MHC I and accessory chaperones to the N-terminal regions (N domains) of the TAP subunits TAP1 and TAP2. To investigate the function of the tapasin-docking sites of TAP in MHC I processing,...
