ERAP1 is a critical regulator of inflammasome-mediated proinflammatory and ER stress responses
BMC Immunology, 2022 Background In addition to its role in antigen presentation, recent reports establish a new role for endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) in innate immunity; however, the mechanisms underlying these functions are not fully defined. We previously

HLA Class I or Class II and Disease Association: Catch the Difference if You Can [PDF]
, 2017 The association of autoimmune diseases with HLA has been known for many decades. To date, however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. The recently introduced genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have suggested that several genes

ERAP1 and ankylosing spondylitis
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2013 The strong genetic association of ERAP1 (endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1) with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which is restricted to HLA-B27 positive cases, has profound pathogenetic implications. ERAP1 is involved in trimming peptides to optimal length for binding to HLA class 1 molecules, thereby not only affecting the stability and processing ...

An allelic variant in the intergenic region between ERAP1 and ERAP2 correlates with an inverse expression of the two genes [PDF]
, 2018 The Endoplasmatic Reticulum Aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2 are implicated in a variety of immune and non-immune functions. Most studies however have focused on their role in shaping the HLA class I peptidome by trimming peptides to the optimal size ...

Genetic susceptibility to feline infectious peritonitis in Birman cats. [PDF]
, 2013 Genetic factors are presumed to influence the incidence of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), especially among pedigreed cats. However, proof for the existence of such factors has been limited and mainly anecdotal.

Ankylosing Spondylitis: a trade Off of HLA-B27, ERAP, and pathogen interconnections? Focus on Sardinia [PDF]
, 2019 The frequency of HLA-B27 in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is over 85%. There are more than 170 recognized HLA-B27 alleles but the majority of them is not sufficiently represented for genetic association studies.

The ER Aminopeptidases, ERAP1 and ERAP2, synergize to self-modulate their respective activities
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 IntroductionCritical steps in Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHC-I) antigen presentation occur in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In general, peptides that enter the ER are longer than the optimal length for MHC-I binding.

Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) polymorphism relevant to inflammatory disease shapes the peptidome of the birdshot chorioretinopathy-associated HLA-A∗29:02 Antigen [PDF]
, 2015 Birdshot chorioretinopathy is a rare ocular inflammation whose genetic association with HLA-A∗29:02 is the highest between a disease and a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule.
