Assembly and export of MHC class I peptide ligands

AN Antoniou, SJ Powis, T Elliott - Current opinion in immunology, 2003 - Elsevier
… the TR2 motif in ERp57–tapasin conjugates can be modified by oxidising reagents, suggesting
that TR2 is available to undergo redox reactions with substrates (A Antoniou and S Powis

Open conformers: the hidden face of MHC-I molecules

FA Arosa, SG Santos, SJ Powis - Trends in immunology, 2007 - cell.com
A pool of MHC-I molecules present at the plasma membrane can dissociate from the peptide
and/or the light chain, becoming open MHC-I conformers. Whereas peptide-bound MHC-I …

HLA‐E is expressed on trophoblast and interacts with CD94/NKG2 receptors on decidual NK cells
