| Comments |
P.955 left column top paragraph: "Peptidases are largely excluded from the nucleus [primary source], implying that trimming of nuclear peptides occurs only after the peptide diffuses to the cytoplasm, which is also the exclusive site of TAP [transporter for antigen processing, primary source]. On the basis of kinetic data, more than 99% of intracellular peptides are destroyed before encountering TAP: in living cells, cytosolic aminopeptidases remove one residue every 2–3 seconds [primary source]. The endopeptidase thimet oligopeptidase (TOP) seems to have a particularly important role in destroying potential antigenic peptides that are generated by proteasomes [ref 37]." |
