Journal ArticleDOI

An IFN-gamma-induced aminopeptidase in the ER, ERAP1, trims precursors to MHC class I-presented peptides.

TL;DR: This work purified from liver microsomes a lumenal, soluble aminopeptidase that removes NH2-terminal residues from many antigenic precursors that stimulates the processing and presentation of an antigenic precursor in the ER.
Journal ArticleDOI

Docking of the Proteasomal ATPases' Carboxyl Termini in the 20S Proteasome's α Ring Opens the Gate for Substrate Entry

TL;DR: The C termini of the proteasomal ATPases function like a "key in a lock" to induce gate opening and allow substrate entry in the 20S.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ER aminopeptidase ERAP1 enhances or limits antigen presentation by trimming epitopes to 8-9 residues.

TL;DR: After interferon-γ treatment, which causes proteasomes to produce more NH2-extended antigenic precursors, ERAP1 increased the supply of peptides for MHC class I antigen presentation and trimmed nearly half the nine-residue peptides tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of gate opening in the 20S proteasome by the proteasomal ATPases.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the ATPases' C termini function to facilitate substrate entry by identifying the sites in the archaeal 20S where PAN's C-terminal residues bind and determining the structures of the gate in its closed and open forms.
