Emerging role of immunoproteasomes in pathophysiology.

Abstract excerpt

The immunoproteasome is a proteasome variant that is found only in jawed vertebrates. It is responsible for degrading intracellular proteins to generate a major source of peptides with substantial major histocompatibility complex I binding affinity. The immunoproteasome also has roles in T-cell survival, differentiation and proliferation in various pathological conditions. In humans, any alteration in the...
