The presentation of peptides by class I histocompatibility molecules plays a central role in the cellular immune response to virally infected or transformed cells. The main steps in this process include the degradation of both self and 'foreign' proteins to short peptides in the cytosol, translocation of peptides into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, binding of a subset of peptides to assembling class I molecules and expression of class-I-peptide complexes at the cell surface for examination by cytotoxic T cells. A molecular understanding of most of these steps is emerging, revealing a remarkable coordination between the processes of peptide translocation, delivery and binding to class I molecules.
