Structure of the ABC ATPase domain of human TAP1, the transporter associated with antigen processing.
The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) is an ABC transporter formed of two subunits, TAP1 and TAP2, each of which has an N-terminal membrane-spanning domain and a C-terminal ABC ATPase domain. We report the structure of the C-terminal ABC ATPase domain of TAP1 (cTAP1) bound to ADP. cTAP1 forms an L-shaped molecule with two domains, a RecA-like domain and a small alpha-helical ...
متن کاملDistinct functions and cooperative interaction of the subunits of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP).
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter TAP translocates peptides from the cytosol to awaiting MHC class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum. TAP is made up of the TAP1 and TAP2 polypeptides, which each possess a nucleotide binding domain (NBD). However, the role of ATP in peptide binding and translocation is poorly understood. We present biochemical and functional evidence that the NBD...
متن کاملThe Human Transporter Associated with Antigen Processing MOLECULAR MODELS TO DESCRIBE PEPTIDE BINDING COMPETENT STATES*□
Background: The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) is an ABC transporter whose experimental structure is not known. Results:We have modeled TAP based on the crystal structures of three related ABC transporters. Conclusion:We identified a possible peptide binding conformation in the transport cycle of TAP. Significance:These models help interpret experimental data and give info...
متن کاملExploring the minimal functional unit of the transporter associated with antigen processing.
TAP, an ABC transporter in the ER membrane, provides antigenic peptides derived from proteasomal degradation to MHC class I molecules for inspection by cytotoxic T lymphocytes at the cell surface so as to trace malignant or infected cells. To investigate the minimal number of transmembrane segments (TMs) required for assembly of the TAP complex based on hydrophobicity algorithms and alignments ...
متن کاملA rare transporter associated with antigen processing polymorphism overpresented in HLAlow colon cancer reveals the functional significance of the signature domain in antigen processing.
Transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily, is composed of two integral membrane proteins, TAP-1 and TAP-2. Each subunit has a C-terminal nucleotide-binding domain that binds and hydrolyzes ATP to energize peptide translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. A motif comprising the sequence LSGGQ (called the sign...
