Plasticity of empty major histocompatibility complex class I molecules determines peptide-selector function.

Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) proteins provide protection from intracellular pathogens and cancer via each of a cell's MHC I molecules binding and presenting a peptide to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. MHC I genes are highly polymorphic …

Selector function of MHC I molecules is determined by protein plasticity

The selection of peptides for presentation at the surface of most nucleated cells by major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC I) is crucial to the immune response in vertebrates. However, the mechanisms of the rapid selection of high …

Two Polymorphisms Facilitate Differences in Plasticity between Two Chicken Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Proteins

Major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC I) present peptides to cytotoxic T-cells at the surface of almost all nucleated cells. The function of MHC I molecules is to select high affinity peptides from a large intracellular pool and …

Two Polymorphisms Facilitate Differences in Plasticity between Two Chicken Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Proteins.

A mechanistic basis for the co-evolution of chicken tapasin and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) proteins

MHC class I molecules display peptides at the cell surface to cytotoxic T cells. The co-factor tapasin functions to ensure that MHC I becomes loaded with high affinity peptides. In most mammals, the tapasin gene appears to have little sequence …

Relating the structure, function and dynamics of the MHC Class I antigen presenting molecule

A mechanistic basis for the co-evolution of chicken tapasin and major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) proteins.

The relationship between protein dynamics and function for the MHC class I antigen presenting molecule
