Dynamic interactome of the MHC I peptide loading complex in human dendritic cells.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) orchestrate immune responses by presenting antigenic peptides on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules to T cells. Antigen processing and presentation via MHC I rely on the peptide-loading complex (PLC), a supramolecular machinery assembled around the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), which is the peptide transporter in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. We studied antigen presentation in human DCs by isolating monocytes from blood and differentiating them into immature and mature DCs. We uncovered that during DC differentiation and maturation, additional proteins are recruited to the PLC, including B-cell receptor-associated protein 31 (BAP31), vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A (VAPA), and extended synaptota
