Abstract excerpt
The human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein US2 induces dislocation of MHC class I heavy chains from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into the cytosol and targets them for proteasomal degradation. Signal peptide peptidase (SPP) has been shown to be integral for US2-induced dislocation of MHC class I heavy chains although its mechanism of action remains poorly understood. Here, we show that knockdown of protein...
