Abstract
The finding that MHC class I molecules are physically associated with the TAP transporter has suggested that peptides may be directly transported into the binding groove of the class I molecules rather than into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they subsequently would encounter class I molecules by diffusion. Such a mechanism would protect peptides from peptidases in the ER and/or escaping back into the cytoplasm. However, we find that an anti-peptide Ab that is cotranslationally transported into the ER prevents TAP-transported peptides from being presented on class I molecules. The Ab only blocks the binding of its cognate peptide (SIINFEKL) but not other peptides (KVVRFKDL, ASNENMETM, and FAPGNYPAL). Therefore, most TAP-transported peptides must diffuse through the lumen of the ER before binding stably to MHC class I molecules.
