title: Antigen presentation: peptides and proteins scramble for the exit.
abstract: The fate of peptides that fail to bind to major histocompatibility complex class I molecules in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)has remained unclear. A recent study has revealed that these peptides exit the ER via the Sec61 channel and compete for this pathway with misfolded proteins.
