Regulation of CD1 Antigen-presenting Complex Stability*

چکیده
For major histocompatibility complex class I and II molecules, the binding of specific peptide antigens is essential for assembly and trafficking and is at the center of their quality control mechanism. However, the role of lipid antigen binding in stabilization and quality control of CD1 heavy chain (HC).beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) complexes is unclear. Furthermore, the distinct trafficking and loading routes of CD1 proteins take them from mildly acidic pH in early endososmal compartments (pH 6.0) to markedly acidic pH in lysosomes (pH 5.0) and back to neutral pH of the cell surface (pH 7.4). Here, we present evidence that the stability of each CD1 HC.beta(2)m complex is determined by the distinct pH optima identical to that of the intracellular compartments in which each CD1 isoform resides. Although stable at acidic endosomal pH, complexes are only stable at cell surface pH 7.4 when bound to specific lipid antigens. The proposed model outlines a quality control program that allows lipid exchange at low endosomal pH without dissociation of the CD1 HC.beta(2)m complex and then stabilizes the antigen-loaded complex at neutral pH at the cell surface.

Inhibition of CD1 antigen presentation by human cytomegalovirus.
The betaherpesvirus human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) encodes several molecules that block antigen presentation by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. Humans also possess one other family of antigen-presenting molecules, the CD1 family; however, the effect of HCMV on CD1 expression is unknown. The majority of CD1 molecules are classified on the basis of homology as group 1 CD1 and a...
متن کاملAntigen-presenting function of the mouse CD1 molecule.
CD1 molecules are distantly related to major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded class I molecules, and they are coexpressed with beta2 microglobulin (beta2m). In the mouse, CD1 is expressed by intestinal epithelial cells and also by some cells in spleen and lymph node. We have shown that surface expression of mouse CD1 (mCD1) is not dependent upon a functional transporter associated with ...

CD1− and CD1+ porcine blood dendritic cells are enriched for the orthologues of the two major mammalian conventional subsets
Conventional dendritic cells (cDC) are professional antigen-presenting cells that induce immune activation or tolerance. Two functionally specialised populations, termed cDC1 and cDC2, have been described in humans, mice, ruminants and recently in pigs. Pigs are an important biomedical model species and a key source of animal protein; therefore further understanding of their immune system will ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) process and present bacterial and endogenous lipid antigens in complex with CD1 molecules to T cells and invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells. However, different types of DCs, such as blood myeloid DCs and skin Langerhans cells, exhibit distinct patterns of CD1a, CD1b, CD1c, and CD1d expression. The regulation of such differences is incompletely understood. Here, we init...
