What is the role of the proteasome in MHC class I peptide loading?

The proteasome cleaves intracellular proteins into small peptides of varying lengths.

2
New cards

How do cytokines influence the proteasome during an inflammatory response?

Cytokines can induce the formation of the immunoproteasome, which enhances MHC class I presentation.

3
New cards

What is the function of the 11S subunit in the immunoproteasome?

The 11S subunit aids in processing MHC class I molecules.

4
New cards

What is the role of β subunits in the immunoproteasome?

β subunits generate peptides that are 8 to 10 amino acids long, which are optimal for MHC class I binding.
