Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for antigenic peptide precursor processing by the endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase ERAP1

TL;DR: Structural and biochemical analyses suggest a mechanism for ERAP1's length-dependent trimming activity, whereby binding of long rather than short substrates induces a conformational change with reorientation of a key catalytic residue toward the active site.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human cytomegalovirus microRNA miR-US4-1 inhibits CD8 + T cell responses by targeting the aminopeptidase ERAP1

TL;DR: It is shown that HCMV miR-US4-1 specifically downregulated ERAP1 expression during viral infection, which led to less susceptibility of infected cells to H CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutting Edge: Coding Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Endoplasmic Reticulum Aminopeptidase 1 Can Affect Antigenic Peptide Generation In Vitro by Influencing Basic Enzymatic Properties of the Enzyme

TL;DR: Cell-based Ag-presentation analysis was consistent with changes in the substrate inhibition constant Ki, supporting that ERAP1 allelic composition may affect Ag processing in vivo and proposing that these phenomena should be taken into account when evaluating the possible link between Ag processing and autoimmunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The internal sequence of the peptide-substrate determines its N-terminus trimming by ERAP1.

TL;DR: It is proposed that ERAP1 recognizes the full length of its peptide-substrate and not just the N- and C- termini, and it is possible that ER AP1 trimming preferences influence the rate of generation and the composition of antigenic peptides in vivo.
