Abstract excerpt
Functional polymorphism in the rat peptide transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) changes the peptide pool available for binding and presentation by a class I MHC allele, RT1.Aa. The peptide binding motif for RT1.Aa, determined by stabilization with synthetic peptides, included a strong preference for arginine at the peptide C terminus. Analysis of natural peptides bound to RT1.Aa by both pool...
