We have studied the contributions of proteasome inhibitor-sensitive and -insensitive proteases to the generation of class I MHC-associated peptides. The cell surface expression of 13 different human class I MHC alleles was inhibited by as much as 90% or as little as 40% when cells were incubated with saturating concentrations of three different proteasome inhibitors. Inhibitor-resistant class I MHC expression was not due to TAP-independent expression or preexisting internal stores of peptides. Furthermore, it did not correlate with the amount or specificity of residual proteasome activity as determined in in vitro proteolysis assays and was not augmented by simultaneous incubation with multiple inhibitors. Mass spectrometry was used to directly characterize the peptides expressed in the presence and absence of proteasome inhibitors. The number of peptide species detected correlated with the levels of class I detected by flow cytometry. Thus, for many alleles, a significant proportion of associated peptide species continue to be generated in the presence of saturating levels of proteasome inhibitors. Comparison of the peptide-binding motifs of inhibitor-sensitive and -resistant class I alleles further suggested that inhibitor-resistant proteolytic activities display a wide diversity of cleavage specificities, including a trypsin-like activity. Sequence analysis demonstrated that inhibitor-resistant peptides contain diverse carboxyl termini and are derived from protein substrates dispersed throughout the cell. The possible contributions of inhibitor-resistant proteasome activities and nonproteasomal proteases residing in the cytosol to the peptide profiles associated with many class I MHC alleles are discussed.
