Q

what is the MHC Class 1 pathway of processing cytosolic antigens?

Processing of Cytosolic Antigens for Display by Class I MHC Molecules
(CH3)

A

Proteins enter the cytoplasm of cells either from endogenous synthesis by microbes that reside in the cytosol of infected cells or from microbes that are ingested but whose antigens are transported into the cytosol.
2. Cytosolic proteins are unfolded, ubiquitinated, and degraded in proteasomes.
3. The peptides that are produced are transported by the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where the peptides may be further trimmed.
4. Newly synthesized class I MHC molecules are initially stabilized by chaperones and attached to TAP by a linker protein called tapasin, so the MHC molecules are strategically located to receive peptides that are transported into the ER by TAP.
5. The peptide–class I MHC complexes are transported to the cell surface and are recognized by CD8 + T cells.
