Project description:The peptide-loading complex (PLC) is a transient, multisubunit membrane complex in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), essential for establishing a hierarchical immune response. The PLC coordinates peptide translocation into the ER with loading and editing of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHC-I). After final proofreading in the PLC, stable peptide/MHC-I complexes are released to the cell surface to evoke a T-cell response against infected or malignant cells. Sampling of different MHC-I allomorphs requires the precise coordination of seven different subunits into a single macromolecular assembly, including the transporter associated with antigen processing TAP1/2, the oxidoreductase ERp57, the MHC-I heterodimer, and the chaperones tapasin and calreticulin. The molecular organization and mechanistic events in the PLC are unknown due to the compositional heterogeneity and intrinsic dynamic nature of the complex. Here, PLC from Burkitt’s lymphoma cells was isolated using an engineered viral inhibitor as bait, followed by cross-linking mass spectrometry to aid EM structure elucidation.
Project description:Characterisation of peptide ligands of the Major histocompatibility class (MHC) I allele, HLA-B*57:01, expressed in the C1R (Class I reduced) B-lymphoblastoid cell line, after exposure to the anti-retroviral abacavir or abacavir analogues.
Project description:Characterisation of the kinetics of abacavir-induced perturbation of the immunopeptidome of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecule HLA-B*57:01.
Project description:Rhesus macaques vaccinated by rhesus cytomegalovirus vectors expressing simian immunodeficiency virus proteins (RhCMV/SIV) activate gene expression signature associated with IL15. To examine the gene expression signature activated by IL15, we performed longitudinal examinations of rhesus macaques during IL15 treament.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE33090: Dramatic effects of social behavior on gene regulation in rhesus macaques [Individual_expression] GSE34127: Dramatic effects of social behavior on gene regulation in rhesus macaques [Cell type_expression] GSE34128: Dramatic effects of social behavior on gene regulation in rhesus macaques [Bisulfite_seq] Refer to individual Series
Project description:Lung is the major organ affected by SARS-CoV-2. To explore the molecular mechanism in the lung after SARS-CoV-2 infection, we performed LC-MS based proteome and phosphoproteome analysis using lung tissue samples separated from rhesus macaques.
