Abstract
MHC class I pathway consists of four main steps: proteasomal cleavage in the cytosol in which precursor proteins are cleaved into smaller peptides, which are then transported into the endoplasmic reticulum by the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP, for further processing (trimming) from the N-terminal region by an ER resident aminopeptidases 1 (ERAP1) enzyme, to generate optimal peptides (8–10 amino acids in length) to produce a stable MHCI-peptide complex, that get transited via the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface for presentation to the cellular immune system. Several studies reported specificities related to the ERAP1 trimming process, yet there is no in silico tool for the prediction of the trimming process of the ERAP1 enzyme. In this paper, we provide and implement a prediction model for the trimming process of the ERAP1 enzyme.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
