Signal sequences of human MHC class I molecules are a unique source of epitopes for newly synthesized nonclassical HLA-E molecules. Binding of such conserved peptides to HLA-E induces its cell surface expression and protects cells from NK cell attack. After cleavage from the pre-protein, we show that the liberated MHC class I signal peptide is further processed by signal peptide peptidase in the hydrophobic, membrane-spanning region. This cut is essential for the release of the HLA-E epitope-containing fragment from the lipid bilayer and its subsequent transport into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum via the TAP.
