RESUMO
The intracellular trafficking of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules has evolved to support their function in peptide antigen presentation optimally. We have analyzed the intracellular trafficking of newly synthesized human CD1b, a lipid antigen-presenting molecule, to understand how this relates to its antigen-presenting function. Nascent CD1b was transported rapidly to the cell surface after leaving the Golgi, and then entered the endocytic system by internalization via AP-2-dependent sorting at the plasma membrane. A second sorting event, possibly involving AP-3 complexes, led to prominent accumulation of CD1b in MHC class II compartments (MIICs). Functional studies demonstrated the importance of nascent CD1b for the efficient presentation of a foreign lipid antigen. Therefore, the intracellular trafficking of nascent CD1b via the cell surface to reach MIICs may allow the efficient sampling of lipid antigens present in endocytic compartments.
