Abstract excerpt
HLA molecules of the MHC class II (MHCII) bind and present pathogen-derived peptides for CD4 T cell activation. Peptide loading of MHCII in the endosomes of cells is controlled by the interplay of the nonclassical MHCII molecules, HLA-DM (DM) and HLA-DO (DO). DM catalyzes peptide loading, whereas DO, an MHCII substrate mimic, prevents DM from interacting with MHCII, resulting in an altered MHCII-peptide...
