Ligation of major histocompatability complex class I (MHC-I) molecules expressed on T cells leads to both growth arrest and apoptosis. The aim of the current study was to investigate the intracellular signal pathways that mediate these effects. MHC-I ligation of human Jurkat T cells induced a morphologically distinct form of apoptosis within 6 h. A specific caspase inhibitor, which inhibited Fa...
Major histocompatibility class I (MHC-I) molecules are present at the cell surface both as fully conformed trimolecular complexes composed of heavy chain (HC), beta-2-microglobulin (β2m) and peptide, and various open forms, devoid of peptide and/or β2m (open MHC-I conformers). Fully conformed MHC-I complexes and open MHC-I conformers can be distinguished by well characterized monoclonal antibod...
Endopeptidase EP24.15 (EC 3.4.24.15; thimet oligopeptidase), traditionally classified as a neuropeptide-processing enzyme, degrades well-known MHC I (major histocompatibility complex class I) peptides in cell extracts. In the present study, we determine the contribution of EP24.15 in vivo to the surface expression of MHC I on intact cells. CTLs (cytotoxic T-lymphocytes) recognize a vast array o...
HIV-1 Nef triggers down-regulation of cell-surface MHC-I by assembling a Src family kinase (SFK)-ZAP-70/Syk-PI3K cascade. Here, we report that chemical disruption of the Nef-SFK interaction with the small molecule inhibitor 2c blocks assembly of the multi-kinase complex and represses HIV-1-mediated MHC-I down-regulation in primary CD4(+) T-cells. 2c did not interfere with the PACS-2-dependent t...
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a dynamic genome region with an essential role in the adaptive immunity of vertebrates, especially antigen presentation. The MHC is generally divided into subregions (classes I, II and III) containing genes of similar function across species, but with different gene number and organisation. Crocodylia (crocodilians) are widely distributed and repres...
During maturation, dendritic cells (DCs) regulate their capacity to process and present major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II-restricted antigens. Here we show that presentation of exogenous antigens by MHC I is also subject to developmental control, but in a fashion strikingly distinct from MHC II. Immature mouse bone marrow-derived DCs internalize soluble ovalbumin and sequester the antig...
Tapasin (Tpn) has been implicated in multiple steps of the MHC class I assembly pathway, but the mechanisms of function remain incompletely understood. Using purified proteins, we could demonstrate direct binding of Tpn to peptide-deficient forms of MHC class I molecules at physiological temperatures. Tpn also bound to M10.5, a pheromone receptor-associated MHC molecule that has an open and emp...
BACKGROUND The down-regulation of the major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) from the surface of infected cells by the Nef proteins of primate immunodeficiency viruses likely contributes to pathogenesis by providing evasion of cell-mediated immunity. HIV-1 Nef-induced down-regulation involves endosomal trafficking and a cooperative interaction between the cytoplasmic domain (CD) of MH...
The function of the peptide-loading complex (PLC) is to facilitate loading of MHC class I (MHC I) molecules with antigenic peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum and to drive the selection of these ligands toward a set of high-affinity binders. When the PLC fails to perform properly, as frequently observed in virus-infected or tumor cells, structurally unstable MHC I peptide complexes are genera...
