Target data

Antigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule. In complex with B2M/beta 2 microglobulin displays primarily viral and tumor-derived peptides on antigen-presenting cells for recognition by alpha-beta T cell receptor (TCR) on HLA-A-restricted CD8-positive T cells, guiding antigen-specific T cell immune response to eliminate infected or transformed cells (PubMed : 10449296, PubMed : 12138174, PubMed : 12393434, PubMed : 1402688, PubMed : 15893615, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 19543285, PubMed : 21498667, PubMed : 24192765, PubMed : 24395804, PubMed : 2456340, PubMed : 2784196, PubMed : 28250417, PubMed : 7504010, PubMed : 7694806, PubMed : 9862734). May also present self-peptides derived from the signal sequence of secreted or membrane proteins, although T cells specific for these peptides are usually inactivated to prevent autoreactivity (PubMed : 25880248, PubMed : 7506728, PubMed : 7679507). Both the peptide and the MHC molecule are recognized by TCR, the peptide is responsible for the fine specificity of antigen recognition and MHC residues account for the MHC restriction of T cells (PubMed : 12796775, PubMed : 18275829, PubMed : 19542454, PubMed : 28250417). Typically presents intracellular peptide antigens of 8 to 13 amino acids that arise from cytosolic proteolysis via IFNG-induced immunoproteasome or via endopeptidase IDE/insulin-degrading enzyme (PubMed : 17079320, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 20364150, PubMed : 26929325, PubMed : 27049119). Can bind different peptides containing allele-specific binding motifs, which are mainly defined by anchor residues at position 2 and 9 (PubMed : 7504010, PubMed : 9862734).. Allele A*01 : 01 : Presents a restricted peptide repertoire including viral epitopes derived from IAV NP/nucleoprotein (CTELKLSDY), IAV PB1/polymerase basic protein 1 (VSDGGPNLY), HAdV-11 capsid L3/hexon protein (LTDLGQNLLY), SARS-CoV-2 3a/ORF3a (FTSDYYQLY) as well as tumor peptide antigens including MAGE1 (EADPTGHSY), MAGEA3 (EVDPIGHLY) and WT1 (TSEKRPFMCAY), all having in common a canonical motif with a negatively charged Asp or Glu residue at position 3 and a Tyr anchor residue at the C-terminus (PubMed : 1402688, PubMed : 17189421, PubMed : 19177349, PubMed : 20364150, PubMed : 24395804, PubMed : 25880248, PubMed : 26758806, PubMed : 30530481, PubMed : 32887977, PubMed : 7504010). A number of HLA-A*01 : 01-restricted peptides carry a post-translational modification with oxidation and N-terminal acetylation being the most frequent (PubMed : 25880248). Fails to present highly immunogenic peptides from the EBV latent antigens (PubMed : 18779413)..

May also display spliced peptides resulting from the ligation of two separate proteasomal cleavage products that are not contiguous in the parental protein (PubMed : 27049119).. Allele A*11 : 01 : Presents several immunodominant epitopes derived from HIV-1 gag-pol and HHV-4 EBNA4, containing the peptide motif with Val, Ile, Thr, Leu, Tyr or Phe at position 2 and Lys anchor residue at the C-terminus.
