Abstract excerpt
Before peptide binding, a variety of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins are associated with class I including calnexin, TAP, calreticulin, and tapasin. Although the selective functions of any one of these ER proteins have been difficult to define, individually or in combination they perform two general chaperone functions for class I. They promote assembly of the class I heterotrimeric molecule (heavy (H) chain,...
