The Active Site of ICP47, a Herpes Simplex Virus–encoded Inhibitor of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)-encoded Peptide Transporter Associated with Antigen Processing (TAP), Maps to the NH2-terminal 35 Residues

The herpes simplex virus (HSV) immediate early protein ICP47 inhibits the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)-dependent peptide translocation. As a consequence, empty major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and recognition o...
