Endogenous and Exogenous Electrophilic Proteome Modifications Reshape Antigen Presentation and Recognition
2025-11-07
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cytotoxic T lymphocytes recognize infected or transformed cells through peptide antigens presented by MHC-I molecules. While peptide primary sequence canonically dictates recognition, non-enzymatic post-translational modifications (PTMs) to side chains can yield distinct epitopes that alter immune specificity. A peptide’s antigenicity is thus set by its cumulative chemical history: exposures tha...
