Two specific points regarding the role of ERp57 in the PLC were addressed. First, the analysis of cells expressing C95A tapasin demonstrates that the covalent linkage between tapasin and ERp57 is required for optimal PLC function. Second, the redox activity of ERp57 was shown to be dispensable for PLC function using an ERp57 mutant that allows for conjugation to tapasin but inactivates both active sites.

Using a lectin-deficient calreticulin mutant, this study provides the most compelling evidence to date that the interaction of calreticulin with substrates, in particular, MHC class I in the PLC, involves a glycan-independent binding component.

This study introduced Jun and Fos leucine zipper peptides into recombinant, soluble tapasin, and HLA-B*0801, respectively, to artificially drive complex formation. The effect of tapasin on the association and dissociation of several peptide ligands was studied by fluorescence anisotropy. The authors proposed a detailed model for tapasin function involving disruptions in the C-terminal region of the peptide binding groove.

A cell-free assay was developed to reconstitute a subcomplex of the PLC. The three main functions which have been proposed for the PLC from studies of tapasin-deficient cells were directly demonstrated using variations of this assay: first, catalysis of peptide loading; second, stabilization of MHC class I molecules in a peptide-receptive state; and third, peptide editing. This study also emphasizes the importance of the tapasin/ERp57 disulfide bond in PLC function.

Biochemical analysis of the HC redox state demonstrated that tapasin-dependent HLA-B*4402, but not tapasin-independent HLA-B*4405, was partially reduced either in the absence of tapasin or in the presence of C95A tapasin. From these observations the authors concluded that the purpose of tapasin/ERp57 conjugate formation is to inactivate ERp57 and prevent reduction of the disulfide bond in the MHC class I peptide binding groove.

In this study, PDI was coimmunoprecipitated with the PLC. To address the role of PDI in MHC class I assembly, siRNA knockdown of PDI was performed which led to differences in the redox state of MHC class I HC. These redox changes seemed to correlate with the loading of high affinity peptides.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the tapasin-dependent allele HLA-B*4402 and tapasin-independent allele HLA-B*4405 with and without peptides. The preferred conformation of empty HLA-B*4405 was similar to the peptide-bound form in contrast to empty HLA-B*4402 which was characterized by a more open binding groove particularly in the a2-1 segment.

Nat Immunol 8 (2007) 101-108. Although several studies have generated and characterized the ERAAP/ERAP1 knockout in mice [45-48], this follow-up study best demonstrated its profound effect on the MHC class I peptide repertoire. Cells from wild-type mice were highly immunogenic when injected into ERAAP-deficient mice and vice versa, indicating a considerable lack of overlap between the presented peptides and the role for ERAAP in generating a substantial pool of MHC class I ligands.

ERAAP synergizes with MHC class I molecules to make the final cut in the antigenic peptide precursors in the endoplasmic reticulum. Immunity 25 (2006) 795-806. Biochemical characterization of processing in cells and in vitro showed that peptides were destroyed in the absence or protected in the presence of the appropriate MHC class I molecule. Thus, the MHC class I molecule, not the enzyme itself may restrict the length of peptides generated by ERAAP/ERAP1 and serve as a template for trimming.
