Transmembrane Helices Are an Overlooked Source of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Epitopes
About a fourth of the human proteome is anchored by transmembrane helices (TMHs) to lipid membranes. TMHs require multiple hydrophobic residues for spanning membranes, and this shows a striking resemblance with the requirements for peptide binding to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I. I...
