(
A) Scoring of the MHC I peptidome (
Bassani-Sternberg et al., 2015) (
n = 22,598) based on the relative favorability for cleavage by the iP or cP. Scores were derived from the P4-P1 cleavage preferences of each proteasome as determined in the MSP-MS assay. MHC I peptides are colored according to their C-terminal residue (cysteine was omitted because it is absent in the MSP-MS library; norleucine was incorporated into the MSP-MS library instead of methionine and was used for scoring methionine residues).
