Abstract |
Immunoproteasomes (IPs) containing the interferon-inducible subunits β1i (LMP2), β2i (MECL-1), and β5i (LMP7) alter proteasomal cleavage preference, optimise the generation of peptide ligands of MHC class I molecules, alter cytokine profile, influence T-helper cell differentiation, and play a role in T-cell survival. Small molecule inhibitors are useful tools for probing the role of the immunoproteasome in immune functions. Here, we describe different methods to characterise immunoproteasome-selective inhibitors. Thereby, we provide the methodology to analyse the specificity and cell permeability of immunoproteasome inhibitors, as well as to functionally investigate immunoproteasome inhibitors in antigen presentation. |
