Test 3 Flashcards
How does the exposure to pathogens select for MHC polymorphism?
unique presentation of a key antigen keeps the population alive
MHC Class I peptide derivation
cytosol
MHC Class II peptide derivation
endocytic vesicles
Proteasome
1 20S and 2 19S components
20S component
made up of 4 rings, 7 subunits each; hollow core lined with proteolytic subunits
protealytic subunits
B1, B2, and B5
What does the proteasome recognize?
polyubiquination
Enzyme for ubiquitinization: E1
ubiquitin activating enzyme; adds ubiquitin to Lysine
Enzyme for ubiquitinization: E2
ubiquitin conjugating enzyme; adds ubiquitin to Lysine
Enzyme for ubiquitinization: E3
ubiquitin ligase
Trigger for the Immunoproteasome
IFN-y secreted by NK and T-cells
Immunoproteasome: instead of proteolytic units
LMP2, LMP7, and MECL 1
MECL1
DIFFERENCE from proteasome; allows to cut after hydrophobic resides
PA 28 Caps
allow for increased rate of releasing peptides and helps get peptides to proper length
TAP
transporters associated with antigen-processing; heterodimer in ER membrane that shuttles peptides into ER; requires ATP
Calnexin
what MHC Class I a-chains binds to in the ER
MHC Class I peptide loading complex
calreticulin, tapasin, Erp-57
calreticulin
holds MHC in partially folded state
tapasin
holds MhC close to TAP
Erp-57
protects disulfide bonds in MHC
invariant chain
forms a trimer; final destination info is found on this; the final destination is endocytic vesicles
cathepsin S
cleaves Ii until the CLIP remains in the peptide binding cleft
HLA-DM
NEVER FOUND AT THE SURFACE; governs the removal of CLIP and finding of correct peptide
HLA-DO
NEVER FOUND AT THE SURFACE; acts as a negative regulator of HLA-DM; expression NOT increased by IFN-y
Cross presentation
ability to understand that the peptide is form a virus infected cell so it puts it in an MHC Class I instead of Class II
What changes the chemokine receptors expressed on dendritic cells?
toll-like receptors
CCR7
expressed when it enters the lymph node; sensitive to CCL19 and CCL21
CCL19 and CCL21
secreted from lymphoid tissue; attract T-cell to lymph node
What is shutoff while dendritic cells are circulating?
phagocytosis
Dendritic cell in the lymph node
high expression of MHC I and II because of high levels of B7.1 and B7.2
CCL18
secreted to bring T-cells into lymph nodes
naive T-cell
out of the thymus and not activated
L-selectin
binds to GlyCAM-1 and CD34 to allow rolling adhesion
CCL21
strengthens the LFA-1 and ICAM-1 interactions
sulfated sialyl Lewis-X moity
has to do with extravasation and diapedesis of T-cells
