AbstractThe T cell antigen presentation platform MR1 consists of 6 allomorphs in humans that differ by no more than 5 amino acids. The principal function of this highly conserved molecule involves presenting microbial metabolites to the abundant mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell subset. Recent developments suggest that the role of MR1 extends to presenting antigens from cancer cells, a function dependent on the K43 residue in the MR1 antigen binding cleft.

INTRODUCTION Forest and woodland ecosystems underpin biodiversity conservation and human well-being, providing a host of crucial ecosystem services (Giam, 2017; Karjalainen et al., 2010). However, global forest cover decreased by one third from 1760 to 2005 (Meiyappan & Jain, 2012).
