Abstract excerpt
We recently demonstrated that the mechanism of processing of an HLA-A*0201-restricted peptide epitope, Tyr(369)(D), derived from the membrane protein tyrosinase, involves retrotranslocation of glycosylated molecules from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol, removal of an N-linked carbohydrate from Asn(371) by peptide N-glycanase, proteolysis by the proteasome and other proteases, and retransport of the...
