The heterodimeric ABC transporter TAP translocates proteasomal degradation products from the cytosol into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, where these peptides are loaded onto MHC class I molecules by a macromolecular peptide-loading complex (PLC) and subsequently shuttled to the cell surface for inspection by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Tapasin recruits, as a central adapter protein, other components of the PLC at the unique N-terminal domains of TAP. We found that the N-terminal domains of human TAPI and TAP2 can independently bind to tapasin, thus providing two separate loading platforms for PLC assembly. Moreover, tapasin binding is dependent on the first N-terminal transmembrane helix of TAPI and TAP2, demonstrating that these two helices contribute independently to the recruitment of tapasin and associated factors.
