Cellular peptides generated by proteasomal degradation of proteins in the cytosol and destined for presentation by MHC class I (MHC-I) are associated with several chaperones. Heat shock proteins 70, 90, and the TCP-1 ring complex have been implicated as important cytosolic players for chaperoning these peptides. In this study, we report that gp96 and calreticulin are essential for chaperoning peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum. Importantly, we demonstrate that cellular peptides are transferre ...[more]
