Mammals defend themselves against intracellular pathogens through presentation of cytoplasmically derived short pathogenic peptides to the cell surface of cytotoxic T lymphocytes, which subsequently leads to cytotoxic events with respect to the affected cell. Antigen presentation is mediated by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, which bind and coordinate short pathogenic peptides. The proper folding and assembly of MHC class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) involve a number of components. MHC class I molecules assemble in the ER with chaperones before binding to the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) protein. ERp57 is a component of the MHC class I pathway that appears to interact with MHC class I molecules before they associate with TAP. ERp72, also designated protein disulfide-isomerase A4, is involved in the catalysis of protein -S-S- bond rearrangement. ERp57 and ERp72 may act as proteases, protein disulfide isomerases, phospholipases or a combination of these.
