Research Aim To establish what role ubiquitination has in sorting of MHC-II complexes in DC’s
Proteolytic processing of Ii is required for Ubiquitination, DC maturation interferes
Summary • MHCII-ß is oligo-ubiquitinated • Ubiquitination takes place in the MVB after peptide loading • Proteolytic processing of Ii is required for ubiquitination • LPS-induced maturation interferes with ubiquitination
Target residue 225 • Conserved Lysine residue 225 • Ak-βK225A= mutant Lysine Alanine • 2 MHCII Haplotypes • Ab-α/β = Wild type • Ak-α/β = Transduced haplotype
Fig 4B • Wild-type Ak-β was ubiquitinated • Not mutant Ak- βK225A
Fig 4A • Distribution of Ab-α in Ab-β-KO + Ak-β-(wt) BMDC equal to WT BMDC • In Ab- βKO no MHCII expression • Ak-b-K225 accumulates at PM • Does not get ubiquitinated
Exogenous mixes haplotypes are properly assembled in transduced WT ubiquitination-deficient Ak-βK225A located at plasma membrane Fig 4C
Endogenous MHC II in MVB was associated 74% with LV (74%) In Ak-bK225A, 16% was found located in LV Sorting is drastically changed Fig 5
Where is ubiquitination involved or required? Is it endocytosis or recycling? Sorting steps
Fig 6A • Transfer from EEA1 to DM positive structure • EEA1, early endosomal marker • DM class II compartment • Delay in Mutant Ak-bK225A • 20°C, endocytosis occurs, but no recycling and transport to lysosomes
Less Ak-bK225A was detected intracellularly (vs Ab-b) (ratio 5.5 ± 1.4) Due to reduced uptake or accelerated recyling?
Conclusion • Ubiquitination of MHC II-b • occurs at lysine 225 and is required for intracellular retention of MHC II in immature DCs. • is required for sorting at MVB, failure result in transfer by default to the plasma membrane • Is required for efficient endocytosis
