LMP


In 1991, a proteasome gene was found in the HLA class II region (Glynne et al, Nature 353:357, 1991). Soon after, Rock et al (Cell 78:761, 1994) demonstrated that the low molecular weight proteasome (LMP) was involved in the generation of peptides that are then transported into the ER by TAP.
