P.954 right column bottom paragraph: "Estimates are that 60% of proteasome-generated fragments are too small, 15% are of the appropriate size and 20% are too large for direct presentation by MHC class I molecules [primary source]. This implies that most of the longer peptides need to be trimmed before properly fitting MHC class I molecules. As cells generally lack carboxypeptidase activity [ref 7], only elongated peptides with amino-terminal extensions can be converted into MHC class-I-binding peptides. Several cytosolic peptidases have been implicated in peptide generation [refs 7, 26, 37, 38]. All of these peptidases can generate or even destroy antigenic peptides with different specificities (Table 1) and thereby influence MHC class I antigen presentation." |
