Abstract

The ability of a human cytomegalovirus-encoded homolog of MHC class I molecules to serve as a peptide receptor was investigated. Sequencing of peptide material eluted from the purified viral protein revealed a mixture of endogenous peptides with characteristics similar to those eluted from conventional class 1 molecules, that is, anchor residues, and a predominance of short peptides derived from cytoplasmic proteins. The possible function(s) of this viral MHC homolog are discussed in light of the finding that it binds endogenous peptides.
