Beschreibung:
The assembly and transport of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules require interaction with the invariant chain. A fragment of the invariant chain, CLIP, occupies the peptide-binding groove of the class II molecule. At endosomal pH, the binding of CLIP to human MHC class II HLA-DR molecules was counteracted by its amino-terminal segment (residues 81 to 89), which facilitated rapid release. The CLIP (81-89) fragment also catalyzed the release of CLIP(90-105) and a subset of other self-peptides, probably by transient interaction with an effector site outside the groove. Thus, CLIP may facilitate peptide loading through an allosteric release mechanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kropshofer, H -- Vogt, A B -- Stern, L J -- Hammerling, G J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Nov 24;270(5240):1357-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Immunology, German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7481823" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
