The role of ERAP1 and HLA-B27 in ankylosing spondylitis pathogenesis
- Abstract:
-
HLA-B27 and ERAP1 are the two strongest predisposing genetic factors to Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). As a key aminopeptidase in MHC class I presentation, ERAP1 potentially contributes to AS pathogenesis through altering HLA-B27 peptide presentation. In this thesis, I first studied the effect of AS-associated ERAP1 variation on its enzyme activity in vitro. Trimming of two N-terminally extended HLA-B27 epitopes was decreased by K528R mutation; the effect of R725Q was however substrate-depen...
