Plasticity of empty major histocompatibility complex class I molecules determines peptide-selector function

•MHC class I alleles vary in their intrinsic ability to select optimal peptides.•Ability of MHC to self-assemble is inversely correlated with dependence on tapasin.•Variation in peptide selector function correlates with the plasticity of empty MHC.•Increased plasticity of empty MHC I allows more eff...
