Abstract excerpt
Calnexin is a lectin-like chaperone that binds to class I MHC molecules soon after their synthesis, retaining unassembled heavy chains and also assisting their folding. Following association with beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) in the endoplasmic reticulum, a large proportion of human class I molecules release from calnexin, whereas mouse class I molecules do not. We asked whether addition of a second N-glycan to...
