Abstract
In the last few years, advancement in the analysis of the MHC class II (MHC-II) ligandome in several mouse and human haplotypes has increased our understanding of the molecular components that regulate the range and selection of the MHC-II presented peptides, from MHC class II molecule polymorphisms to the recognition of different conformers, functional differences in endosomal processing along the endocytic tract, and the interplay between the MHC class II chaperones DM and DO. The sum of all these variables contributes, qualitatively and quantitatively, to the composition of the MHC II ligandome, altogether ensuring that the immunopeptidome landscape is highly sensitive to any changes in the composition of the intra- and extracellular proteome for a comprehensive survey of the microenvironment for MHC II presentation to CD4 T cells.

Abstract
The invariant chain (Ii, also known as CD74) is a multifunctional regulator of adaptive immune responses and is responsible for sorting major histocompatibility complex class I and class II (MHCI and MHCII, respectively) molecules, as well as other Ii-associated molecules, to a specific endosomal pathway. When Ii is expressed, endosomal maturation and proteolytic degradation of proteins are delayed and, in non-antigen presenting cells, the endosomal size increases, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this are not known. We identified that a SNARE, Vti1b, is essential for regulating these Ii-induced effects. Vti1b binds to Ii and is localized at the contact sites of fusing Ii-positive endosomes. Furthermore, truncated Ii lacking the cytoplasmic tail, which is not internalized from the plasma membrane, relocates Vti1b to the plasma membrane. Knockout of Ii in an antigen-presenting cell line was found to speed up endosomal maturation, whereas silencing of Vti1b inhibits the Ii-induced maturation delay. Our results suggest that Ii, by interacting with the SNARE Vti1b in antigen-presenting cells, directs specific Ii-associated SNARE-mediated fusion in the early part of the endosomal pathway that leads to a slower endosomal maturation for efficient antigen processing and MHC antigen loading.

Abstract
We analyzed hepatitis C virus (HCV) morphogenesis using viral genomes encoding a mCherry-tagged E1 glycoprotein. HCV-E1-mCherry polyprotein expression, intracellular localization, and replication kinetics were comparable to those of untagged HCV, and E1-mCherry-tagged viral particles were assembled and released into cell culture supernatants. Expression and localization of structural E1 and nonstructural NS5A followed a temporospatial pattern with a succinct decrease in the number of replication complexes and the appearance of E1-mCherry punctae. Interaction of the structural proteins E1, Core, and E2 increased at E1-mCherry punctae in a time-dependent manner, indicating that E1-mCherry punctae represent assembled or assembling virions. E1-mCherry did not colocalize with Golgi markers. Furthermore, the bulk of viral glycoproteins within released particles revealed an EndoH-sensitive glycosylation pattern, indicating an absence of viral glycoprotein processing by the Golgi apparatus. In contrast, HCV-E1-mCherry trafficked with Rab9-positive compartments and inhibition of endosomes specifically suppressed HCV release. Our data suggest that assembled HCV particles are released via a noncanonical secretory route involving the endosomal compartment. IMPORTANCE The goal of this study was to shed light on the poorly understood trafficking and release routes of hepatitis C virus (HCV). For this, we generated novel HCV genomes which resulted in the production of fluorescently labeled viral particles. We used live-cell microscopy and other imaging techniques to follow up on the temporal dynamics of virus particle formation and trafficking in HCV-expressing liver cells. While viral particles and viral structural protein were found in endosomal compartments, no overlap of Golgi structures could be observed. Furthermore, biochemical and inhibitor-based experiments support a HCV release route which is distinguishable from canonical Golgi-mediated secretion. Since viruses hijack cellular pathways to generate viral progeny, our results point toward the possible existence of a not-yet-described cellular secretion route.

Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterised by tissue infiltration by mononuclear phagocytes and lymphocytes with associated non-caseating granuloma formation. Originally described as a disorder of the skin, sarcoidosis can involve any organ with wide-ranging clinical manifestations and disease course. Recent studies have provided new insights into the mechanisms involved in disease pathobiology, and we now know that sarcoidosis has a clear genetic basis largely involving human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes. In contrast to Mendelian-monogenic disorders--which are generally due to specific and relatively rare mutations often leading to a single amino acid change in an encoded protein--sarcoidosis results from genetic variations relatively common in the general population and involving multiple genes, each contributing an effect of varying magnitude. However, an individual may have the necessary genetic profile and yet the disease will not develop unless an environmental or infectious factor is encountered. Genetics appears also to contribute to the huge variability in clinical phenotype and disease behaviour. Moreover, it has been established that sarcoidosis granulomatous inflammation is a highly polarized T helper 1 immune response that starts with an antigenic stimulus followed by T cell activation via a classic HLA class II-mediated pathway. A complex network of lymphocytes, macrophages, and cytokines is pivotal in the orchestration and evolution of the granulomatous process. Despite these advances, the aetiology of sarcoidosis remains elusive and its pathogenesis incompletely understood. As such, there is an urgent need for a better understanding of disease pathogenesis, which hopefully will translate into the development of truly effective therapies.

Abstract
MARCH1, a member of the membrane-associated RING-CH family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, regulates antigen presentation by downregulating the cell surface expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex class II and CD86 molecules. MARCH1 is a transmembrane protein that exposes both its N- and C-terminus to the cytoplasm. We have conducted a structure-function analysis of its two cytoplasmic tails to gain insights into the trafficking of MARCH1 in the endocytic pathway. Fusion of the N-terminal portion of MARCH1 to a type II transmembrane reporter molecule revealed that this cytoplasmic tail contains endosomal sorting motifs. The C-terminal domain also appears to contain intracellular sorting signals because it reduced surface expression of a type I transmembrane reporter molecule. Mutation of the two putative C-terminal tyrosine-based sorting signals did not affect the activity of human MARCH1; however, it did reduce its incorporation into exosomes. Moreover, site-directed mutagenesis pointed to a functional C-terminal 221VQNC224 sequence that affects the spatial organization of the two cytoplasmic regions. This motif is also found in other RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases, such as parkin. Altogether, these findings highlight the complex regulation of MARCH1 trafficking in the endocytic pathway as well as the intricate interactions between its cytoplasmic tails.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on binding of invariant chain (Ii) to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules to form complexes, Ii-segment hybrids, Ii-key structure linking an epitope, or Ii class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) replaced with an epitope were used to increase immune response. It is currently unknown whether the Ii-segment cytosolic and transmembrane domains bind to the MHC non-peptide binding region (PBR) and consequently influence immune response. To investigate the potential role of Ii-segments in the immune response via MHC II/peptide complexes, a few hybrids containing Ii-segments and a multiepitope (F306) from Newcastle disease virus fusion protein (F) were constructed, and their binding effects on MHC II molecules and specific antibody production were compared using confocal microscopy, immunoprecipitation, western blotting and animal experiments. RESULTS One of the Ii-segment/F306 hybrids, containing ND (Asn-Asp) outside the F306 in the Ii-key structure (Ii-key/F306/ND), neither co-localized with MHC II molecules on plasma membrane nor bound to MHC II molecules to form complexes. However, stimulation of mice with the structure produced 4-fold higher antibody titers compared with F306 alone. The two other Ii-segment/F306 hybrids, in which the transmembrane and cytosolic domains of Ii were linked to this structure (Cyt/TM/Ii-key/F306/ND), partially co-localized on plasma membrane with MHC class II molecules and weakly bound MHC II molecules to form complexes. They induced mice to produce approximately 9-fold higher antibody titers compared with F306 alone. Furthermore, an Ii/F306 hybrid (F306 substituting CLIP) co-localized well with MHC II molecules on the membrane to form complexes, although it increased antibody titer about 3-fold relative to F306 alone. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Ii-segments improve specific immune response by binding to the non-PBR on MHC class II molecules and enabling membrane co-localization with MHC II molecules, resulting in the formation of relatively stable MHC II/peptide complexes on the plasma membrane, and signal transduction.

Abstract
For a long time the lysosomal pathway was thought to be exclusively one for catabolism and recycling of material taken up by endocytosis from the external milieu or from the cytosol by autophagy. At least in the immune system it is clear now that endo/lysosomal proteolysis generates crucially important information, in particular peptides that bind class II MHC molecules to create ligands for survey by the diverse antigen receptors of the T lymphocyte system. This process of antigen processing and presentation is used to display not only foreign but also self peptides and therefore is important for 'self' tolerance as well as immunity to pathogens. Some cells, macrophages and particularly dendritic cells can load peptides on class I MHC molecules in the endosome system through the important, though still not fully characterised, pathway of cross-presentation. Here I try to provide a brief review of how this area developed focussing to some extent our own contributions to understanding the class II MHC pathway. I also mention briefly recent work of others showing that proteolysis along this pathway turns out to regulate immune signalling events in the innate immune system such as the activation of some members of the Toll-like receptor family. Finally, our recent work on the endo/lysosome targeted protease inhibitor cystatin F, suggests that auto-regulation of protease activity in some immune cells occurs. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Proteolysis 50 years after the discovery of lysosome.

Abstract
Whereas lysosome-related organelles (LRO) of specialized cells display both exocytic and endocytic features, lysosomes in nonspecialized cells can also acquire the property to fuse with the plasma membrane upon an acute rise in cytosolic calcium. Here, we characterize this unconventional secretory pathway in fibroblast-like cells, by monitoring the appearance of Lamp1 on the plasma membrane and the release of lysosomal enzymes into the medium. After sequential ablation of endocytic compartments in living cells, we find that donor membranes primarily derive from a late compartment, but that an early compartment is also involved. Strikingly, this endo-secretory process is not affected by treatments that inhibit endosome dynamics (microtubule depolymerization, cholesterol accumulation, overexpression of Rab7 or its effector Rab-interacting lysosomal protein [RILP], overexpression of Rab5 mutants), but depends on Rab27a, a GTPase involved in LRO secretion, and is controlled by F-actin. Moreover, we find that this unconventional endo-secretory pathway requires the adaptor protein complexes AP1, Gadkin (which recruits AP1 by binding to the γ1 subunit), and AP2, but not AP3. We conclude that a specific fraction of the AP2-derived endocytic pathway is dedicated to secretory purposes under the control of AP1 and Gadkin.

Abstract
The epithelial-specific adaptor AP1B sorts basolateral plasma membrane (PM) proteins in both biosynthetic and recycling routes, but the site where it carries out this function remains incompletely defined. Here, we have investigated this topic in Fischer rat thyroid (FRT) epithelial cells using an antibody against the medium subunit micro1B. This antibody was suitable for immunofluorescence and blocked the function of AP1B in these cells. The antibody blocked the basolateral recycling of two basolateral PM markers, Transferrin receptor (TfR) and LDL receptor (LDLR), in a perinuclear compartment with marker and functional characteristics of recycling endosomes (RE). Live imaging experiments demonstrated that in the presence of the antibody two newly synthesized GFP-tagged basolateral proteins (vesicular stomatitis virus G [VSVG] protein and TfR) exited the trans-Golgi network (TGN) normally but became blocked at the RE within 3-5 min. By contrast, the antibody did not block trafficking of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-LDLR from the TGN to the PM but stopped its recycling after internalization into RE in approximately 45 min. Our experiments conclusively demonstrate that 1) AP1B functions exclusively at RE; 2) TGN-to-RE transport is very fast and selective and is mediated by adaptors different from AP1B; and 3) the TGN and AP1B-containing RE cooperate in biosynthetic basolateral sorting.

Abstract
The Golgi complex is characterized by its unique morphology of closely apposed flattened cisternae that persists despite the large quantity of lipids and proteins that transit bidirectionally. Whether such a structure is maintained through endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-based recycling and auto-organization or whether it depends on a permanent Golgi structure is strongly debated. To further study Golgi maintenance in interphase cells, we developed a method allowing for a drug-free inactivation of Golgi dynamics and function in living cells. After Golgi inactivation, a new Golgi-like structure, containing only certain Golgi markers and newly synthesized cargoes, was produced. However, this structure did not acquire a normal Golgi architecture and was unable to ensure a normal trafficking activity. This suggests an integrative model for Golgi maintenance in interphase where the ER is able to autonomously produce Golgi-like structures that need pre-existing Golgi complexes to be organized as morphologically normal and active Golgi elements.

Abstract
We have previously shown that macrophage infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) partially inhibits MHC class II surface expression in response to IFN-gamma. The present study examined the nature of class II molecules that do in fact reach the surface of infected cells. Immunostaining with specific Abs that discriminate between mature and immature class II populations showed a predominance of invariant chain (Ii)-associated class II molecules at the surface of BCG-infected cells suggesting that mycobacteria specifically block the surface export of peptide-loaded class II molecules. This phenotype was due to inhibition of IFN-gamma-induced cathepsin S (Cat S) expression in infected cells and the subsequent intracellular accumulation of alphabeta class II dimers associated with the Cat S substrate Ii p10 fragment. In contrast, infection with BCG was shown to induce secretion of IL-10, and addition of blocking anti-IL-10 Abs to cell cultures restored both expression of active Cat S and export of mature class II molecules to the surface of infected cells. Consistent with these findings, expression of mature class II molecules was also restored in cells infected with BCG and transfected with active recombinant Cat S. Thus, M. bovis BCG exploits IL-10 induction to inhibit Cat S-dependent processing of Ii in human macrophages. This effect results in inhibition of peptide loading of class II molecules and in reduced presentation of mycobacterial peptides to CD4(+) T cells. This ability may represent an effective mycobacterial strategy for eluding immune surveillance and persisting in the host.

Abstract
The involvement of the tetrameric adaptor protein 1 (AP-1) complex in protein sorting in intracellular compartments is not yet completely defined. Here we report that in immature dendritic cells, the beta1- and gamma-subunits of AP-1 underwent caspase 3-catalyzed cleavage in their hinge regions, resulting in removal of the C-terminal 'ear' domains. Cleavage was inhibited by lipopolysaccharide or caspase inhibitors, each of which led to maturation of the dendritic cells, demonstrated by endosomal remodeling and an increase in surface expression of peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex class II. Overexpression of similarly truncated AP-1 together with 'silencing' of the endogenous genes in immature dendritic cells did not compromise delivery of major histocompatibility complex class II invariant chain to endosomal compartments. However, after lipopolysaccharide-induced maturation, overexpression of truncated AP-1 and 'silencing' of endogenous genes did result in the anomalous surface accumulation of invariant chain and the peptide-editing molecule H2-DM. Thus, at least one function for intact AP-1 is to retain some proteins in endosomes during the dendritic cell maturation process in which others are allowed to egress to the cell surface.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) present antigens to T cells via CD1, HLA class I or class II molecules. During maturation, HLA class II-restricted presentation is optimized. The relocalization of CD1e from Golgi to endosomal compartments during DC maturation suggests also an optimization of the antigen-presentation pathway via CD1 molecules. We here detail the biosynthesis and cellular pathway of CD1e in immature and maturing DCs. Unlike the other CD1 molecules, CD1e was found to reach late endosomes through sorting endosomes, without passing through the plasma membrane in either immature or maturing cells. After induction of DC maturation, CD1e disappeared rapidly from the Golgi and was transiently localized in HLA-DR+ vesicles, while the number of CD1e+/CD1b+ compartments increased for at least 20 h. High-resolution light microscopy showed that, in immature DCs, CD1e+ vesicles were often in close apposition to EEA1+ or HLA-DR+ compartments, while CD1e displayed a nearly exclusive distribution in the lysosomes of mature DCs, a finding corroborated by immunoelectron microscopy. During maturation, CD1e synthesis progressively declined, while the endosomal cleavage of CD1e still occurred. Thus, CD1e displays peculiar properties, suggesting an unexpected role among the family of CD1 antigen-presenting molecules.

Abstract
Tumor vaccine development aimed at stimulating the cellular immune response focuses mainly on MHC class I molecules. This is not surprising since most tumors do not express MHC class II or CD1 molecules. Nevertheless, the most successful targets for cancer immunotherapy, leukemia and melanoma, often do express MHC class II molecules, which leaves no obvious reason to ignore MHC class II molecules as a mediator in anticancer immune therapy. We review the current state of knowledge on the process of MHC class II-restricted antigen presentation and subsequently discuss the consequences of MHC class II expression on tumor surveillance and the induction of an efficient MHC class II mediated antitumor response in vivo and after vaccination.

Abstract
Newly synthesized MHC II alpha- and beta-chains associated with the invariant chain chaperone (Ii) enter the endocytic pathway for Ii degradation and loading with peptides before transport to the cell surface. It is unclear how alphabetaIi complexes are sorted from the Golgi apparatus and directed to endosomes. However, indirect evidence tends to support direct transport involving the AP1 clathrin adaptor complex. Surprisingly, we show here that knocking down the production of AP1 by RNA interference did not affect the trafficking of alphabetaIi complexes. In contrast, AP2 depletion led to a large increase in surface levels of alphabetaIi complexes, inhibited their rapid internalization, and strongly delayed the appearance of mature MHC II in intracellular compartments. Thus, in the cell systems studied here, rapid internalization of alphabetaIi complexes via an AP2-dependent pathway represents a key step for MHC II delivery to endosomes and lysosomes.

Abstract
The ability of B lymphocytes to capture, process and present antigens to T cells is requisite for normal humoral immune responses and contributes to the pathogenesis of both B- and T-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. B lymphocytes preferentially capture polyvalent antigens, which are capable of eliciting a coordinated series of cellular responses that ensure that even low-affinity antigens are productively captured. Polyvalency not only accelerates transit through the endocytic pathway but also induces a reorganization of the antigen-processing compartment, activates degradative pathways and determines how antigenic peptides are presented to T cells. Similar changes are observed in maturing dendritic cells, indicating that some cellular responses to foreign antigens are conserved.

Abstract
Human surfactant protein C (hSP-C(1-197)) is synthesized as a 197 amino acid proprotein and cleaved to a mature 3.7 kD form. Although interstitial lung disease in patients with mutations of the hSP-C gene is becoming increasingly recognized, the mechanisms linking molecular events with clinical pathogenesis are not fully defined. We describe a full-term infant with respiratory insufficiency associated with a spontaneous heterozygous mutation resulting in a substitution of lysine for glutamic acid at position 66 (= E66K) of the proximal hSP-C COOH flanking propeptide. Lung histology and biochemical studies of the index patient (hSP-C(E66K)) revealed nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, increased alveolar total phospholipid lacking phosphatidylglycerol, and increased surfactant protein A. Localization of proSP-C from lung sections prepared from this patient using immunofluorescence and immunogold electron microscopy revealed abnormal proSP-C staining in endosomal-like vesicles of type II cells distinct from SP-B. To evaluate the effect of the E66K substitution on intracellular trafficking of proSP-C, fusion proteins consisting of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and hSP-C(1-197) (wild type) or mutant hSP-C(E66K) were generated and transfected into A549 cells. EGFP/hSP-C(1-197) was expressed within CD-63-positive, EEA-1-negative vesicles, whereas EGFP/hSP-C(E66K) localized to EEA-1 positive vesicles. The E66K substitution is representative of a new class of SP-C mutation associated with interstitial lung disease that is diverted from the normal biosynthetic pathway. We propose that, similar to other storage disorders, lung injury results from induction of a toxic gain of function induced by the mutant product that is subject to genetic modifiers and environmental influences.

Abstract
The B lymphocyte adaptor molecule of 32 kDa (Bam32) is an adaptor that plays an indispensable role in BCR signaling. In this study, we found that upon BCR ligation, Bam32 is recruited to the plasma membrane where it associates with BCR complexes and redistributes and internalizes with BCRs. BCR ligation induced colocalization of Bam32 with lipid rafts, clathrin, and actin filaments. An inhibitor of Src family protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) blocked both BCR-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of Bam32 and BCR internalization. Moreover, BCR internalization is impaired in Bam32-/- and Lyn-/- cells, and expression of Bam32 with a mutation of its tyrosine phosphorylation site (Y139F) inhibited BCR internalization. These data suggest that Bam32 functions downstream of Src family PTKs to regulate BCR internalization. Bam32 deficiency does not affect tyrosine phosphorylation of clathrin or the association of clathrin with lipid rafts upon BCR cross-linking. However, BCR-induced actin polymerization is impaired in Bam32-/- cells. Collectively, these findings indicate a novel role of Bam32 in connecting Src family PTKs to BCR internalization by an actin-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
The precise trafficking routes followed by newly synthesized lysosomal membrane proteins after exit from the Golgi are unclear. To study these events we created a novel chimera (YAL) having a lumenal domain comprising two tyrosine sulfation motifs fused to avidin, and the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of lysosome associated membrane protein 1 (Lamp1). The newly synthesized protein rapidly transited from the trans- Golgi Network (TGN) to lysosomes (t(1/2) approximately 30 min after a lag of 15-20 min). However, labeled chimera was captured by biotinylated probes endocytosed for only 5 min, indicating that the initial site of entry into the endocytic pathway was early endosomes. Capture required export of YAL from the TGN, and endocytosis of the biotinylated reagent, and was essentially quantitative within 2 h of chase, suggesting that all molecules were following an identical route. There was no evidence of YAL trafficking via the cell surface. Fusion of TGN-derived vesicles with 5 min endosomes could be recapitulated in vitro, but neither late endosomes nor lysosomes could serve as acceptor compartments. This suggests that contrary to previous conclusions, most if not all newly synthesized Lamp1 traffics from the TGN to early endosomes prior to delivery to late endosomes and lysosomes.

Abstract
The processing of exogenous Ags is an essential step for the generation of immunogenic peptides that will be presented to T cells. This processing relies on the efficient intracellular targeting of Ags, because it depends on the content of the compartments in which Ags are delivered in APCs. Opsonization of Ags by the complement component C3 strongly enhances their presentation by B cells and increases their immunogenicity in vivo. To investigate the role of C3 in the targeting of Ags, we compared the intracellular traffic of proteins internalized by complement receptor (CR) and B cell receptor (BCR) in B lymphocytes. Whereas both receptors are able to induce efficient Ag presentation, their intracellular pathways are different. CR ligand is delivered to compartments containing MHC class II molecules (MHC-II) but devoid of transferrin receptor and Lamp-2, whereas BCR rapidly targets its ligand toward Lamp-2-positive, late endosomal MHC-II-enriched compartments through intracellular vesicles containing transferrin receptor. CR and BCR are delivered to distinct endocytic pathways, and the kinetic evolution of the protein content of these pathways is very different. Both types of compartments contain MHC-II, but CR-targeted compartments receive less neosynthesized MHC-II than do BCR-targeted compartments. The targeting induced by CR toward compartments that are distinct from BCR-targeted compartments probably participates in C3 modulation of Ag presentation.

Abstract
Major histocompatibility complex class II protein (MHC II) molecules present antigenic peptides to CD4-positive T-cells. Efficient T cell stimulation requires association of MHC II with membrane microdomains organized by cholesterol and glycosphingolipids or by tetraspanins. Using detergent extraction at 37 degrees C combined with a modified flotation assay, we investigated the sequence of events leading to the association of MHC II with cholesterol- and glycosphingolipid-rich membranes (DRMs) that are distinct from tetraspanins. We find two stages of association of MHC II with DRMs. In stage one, complexes of MHC II and invariant chain, a chaperone involved in MHC II transport, enter DRMs in the Golgi stack. In early endosomes, these complexes are almost quantitatively associated with DRMs. Upon transport to late endocytic compartments, MHC II-bound invariant chain is stepwise proteolyzed to the MHC class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) that remains MHC II-bound and retains a preference for DRMs. At the transition between the two stages, CLIP is exchanged against processed antigens, and the resulting MHC II-peptide complexes are transported to the cell surface. In the second stage, MHC II shows a lower overall association with DRMs. However, surface MHC II molecules occupied with peptides that induce resistance to denaturation by SDS are enriched in DRMs relative to SDS-sensitive MHC II-peptide complexes. Likewise, MHC II molecules loaded with long-lived processing products of hen-egg lysozyme containing the immunodominant epitope 48-61 show a very high preference for DRMs. Thus after an initial mainly intracellular stage of high DRM association, MHC II moves to a second stage in which its preference for DRMs is modulated by bound peptides.

Abstract
Melanosomes are specialized intracellular compartments within melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelial cells that function in the synthesis, storage, and secretion of melanins, which are the major pigments made by mammals. The mechanisms that regulate the formation of melanosomes, and the pathways by which constituent proteins are targeted to them, are related to those involved in the biogenesis of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen-processing compartments. Consequently, diseases that affect pigmentation may also affect antigen presentation to T cells. Moreover, many of the tissue-specific proteins that localize to melanosomes and participate in melanin formation double as tumor-associated antigens that are targets for T cells in patients with melanoma. Our studies on melanosome biogenesis are providing new ways of thinking about antigen-processing compartments and the mechanisms regulating presentation of tumor-associated antigens.

Abstract
Antigen presentation by both classical MHC class II molecules and the non-classical MHC class I-like molecule CD1D requires their entry into the endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Lysosomal cysteine proteases constitute an important subset of the enzymes that are present in this compartment and, here, we discuss the role of these proteases in regulating antigen presentation by both MHC class II and CD1D molecules.

Abstract
B lymphocytes are among the most efficient cells of the immune system in capturing, processing, and presenting MHC class II restricted peptides to T cells. Antigen capture is essentially restricted by the specificity of the clonotypic antigen receptor expressed on each B lymphocyte. However, receptor recognition is only one factor determining whether an antigen is processed and presented. The context of antigen encounter is crucial. In particular, polyvalent arrays of repetitive epitopes, indicative of infection, accelerate the delivery of antigen to specialized processing compartments, and up-regulate the surface expression of MHC class II and co-stimulatory molecules such as B7. Recent studies have demonstrated that receptor-mediated signaling and receptor-facilitated peptide presentation to T cells are intimately related. For example, rapid sorting of endocytosed receptor complexes through early endosomes requires the activation of the tyrosine Syk. This proximal kinase initiates all BCR-dependent signaling pathways. Subsequent entry into the antigen-processing compartment requires the tyrosine phosphorylation of the BCR constituent Igalpha and direct recruitment of the linker protein BLNK. Signals from the BCR also regulate the biophysical and biochemical properties of the targeted antigen-processing compartments. These observations indicate that the activation and recruitment of signaling molecules by the BCR orchestrate a complex series of cellular responses that favor the presentation of even rare or low-affinity antigens if encountered in contexts indicative of infection. The requirement for BCR signaling provides possible mechanisms by which cognate B:T cell interactions can be controlled by the milieu in which antigen engagement occurs.

Abstract
Lysosomes are ubiquitous organelles that carry out essential household functions. Certain cell types, however, contain lysosome-related organelles with specialized functions. Their specialized functions are usually reflected by specific morphological and compositional features. A number of diseases that develop due to genetic mutations, pathogen exposure or cell transformation are characterized by dysfunctional lysosomes and/or lysosome-related organelles. In this review we highlight adaptations and malfunction of the endosomal/lysosomal system in normal and pathological situations with special focus on MHC class II compartments in antigen presenting cells and melanosomes in pigment cells.

Abstract
Macrophages are important targets for HIV-1 infection and harbor the virions in an as yet unidentified organelle. To determine the location of HIV-1 in these cells, an extensive analysis of primary human macrophages infected in vitro with HIV-1 was carried out by immuno-electron microscopy. Virus particles were found to accumulate in intracellular multivesicular compartments which were enriched in major histocompatibility complex class II molecules and CD63. These features are characteristics of major histocompatibility complex class II compartments where maturing class II molecules acquire their peptide cargo. The membrane-delimited, electron-dense virus particles of 100-110 nm diameter labeled strongly for HIV-1 p24 antigen, major histocompatibility complex class II molecules, CD63 and, to a lesser extent for HIV-1 gp120 envelope protein and Lamp 1. Our data suggest that virus particles may access the lumen of the major histocompatibility complex class II compartment by budding from the limiting membrane, thus acquiring proteins of this membrane such as class II and CD63. Viral assembly and budding would therefore occur in macrophages by a process similar to the formation of the internal vesicles in multivesicular bodies and at the same location. This could account for the particular content in lipids and proteins previously found in the membrane wrapping HIV particles. Our observations also suggest direct fusion of the virus containing major histocompatibility complex class II compartment with the plasma membrane, leading to massive release of viral particles into the extracellular medium.

Abstract
rab7 is an intracellular GTPase involved in early to late endosome fusion. By overexpressing rab7 in a B lymphoma we show that the rate of antigen presentation with MHC class II molecules is increased for four different peptide-MHC combinations, under conditions where levels of other components of the antigen-processing pathway remained constant. Resting B cells were shown to express significantly lower levels of rab7 when compared to adherent macrophages or to 'immature' or 'mature' dendritic cells. rab7 expression was up-regulated by stimulation of B cells with lipopolysaccharide or CD40 ligand. Other components of the endocytic pathway were also up-regulated in activated B cells, suggesting that B cell activation leads to a general enlargement of the endocytic compartment, correlating with the increased ability of activated B cells to process antigen. Taken together, our results suggest that rab7 levels regulate the rate of antigen presentation in B cells, and that rab7 and late endocytic compartments are important in MHC class II-restricted antigen presentation in B cells.

Abstract
Newly synthesized major histocompatibility complex class II needs to be directed to late endocytic compartments to combine with peptide antigens. Efficient transport requires complexes of major histocompatibility complex class II and invariant chain (alphabetaIi). Since such complexes have been detected on the plasma membrane in human cells, this compartment was proposed as the primary destination for alphabetaIi exiting the trans-Golgi network. Here, I have used density gradient electrophoresis and selective biotinylation to investigate the trafficking route of alphabetaIi quantitatively. Density gradient electrophoresis analysis showed that alphabetaIi was transported from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes at approximately 1.7% min-1. Surface delivery of alphabetaIi was delayed relative to endosome transport by approximately 10 min and showed slower kinetics ( approximately 0.4% min-1), suggesting that alphabetaIi reached the plasma membrane only after arrival in endosomes. A biotinylation assay revealed that 20-40% of endosomal alphabetaIi was delivered to the plasma membrane at steady state, suggesting that surface alphabetaIi was entirely derived from endosomes. Surface alphabetaIi was rapidly re-internalized and either returned to the cell surface or accessed degradative compartments. Peptide loading commenced approximately 30 min after delivery to endosomes. Thus alphabetaIi directly traffics from trans-Golgi network to endosomes and enters an endosome-plasma membrane 'carousel' until transport to peptide-loading compartments ensues.

Abstract
Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells divide by medial fission through the use of an actomyosin-based contractile ring. A mulitlayered division septum is assembled in concert with ring constriction. Finally, cleavage of the inner layer of the division septum results in the liberation of daughter cells. Although numerous studies have focused on actomyosin ring and division septum assembly, little information is available on the mechanism of cell separation. Here we describe a mutant, sec8-1, that is defective in cell separation but not in other aspects of cytokinesis. sec8-1 mutants accumulate about 100-nm vesicles and have reduced secretion of acid phosphatase, suggesting that they are defective in exocytosis. Sec8p is a component of the exocyst complex. Using biochemical methods, we show that Sec8p physically interacts with other members of the exocyst complex, including Sec6p, Sec10p, and Exo70p. These exocyst proteins localize to regions of active exocytosis-at the growing ends of interphase cells and in the medial region of cells undergoing cytokinesis-in an F-actin-dependent and exocytosis-independent manner. Analysis of a number of mutations in various exocyst components has established that these components are essential for cell viability. Interestingly, all exocyst mutants analyzed appear to be able to elongate and to assemble division septa but are defective for cell separation. We therefore propose that the fission yeast exocyst is involved in targeting of enzymes responsible for septum cleavage. We further propose that cell elongation and division septum assembly can continue with minimal levels of exocyst function.

Abstract
Antigen presenting cells (APCs) alert the immune system to attack by extracellular organisms; APCs achieve this via internalization, degradation, and display of antigenic fragments on the cell surface by MHC class II molecules. These class II molecules bind to an accessory protein, termed the invariant chain, that ensures proper folding of the molecules. Invariant-chain binding also directs class II molecules to lysosomes, which are probably the most important sites for antigen loading. Endosomes are intermediates in the transport of class-II-invariant chain complexes to antigen-processing compartments, whereas trafficking of class II-peptide complexes to the membrane (and beyond) is less-well understood. Unlike other APCs, dendritic cells alter their capacity to present peptides via MHC class II molecules during differentiation, revealing a complex level of regulated antigen-presentation by this APC subtype.

Abstract
Proteolysis is the primary mechanism used by all cells not only to dispose of unwanted proteins but also to regulate protein function and maintain cellular homeostasis. Proteases that reside in the endocytic pathway are the principal actors of terminal protein degradation. The proteases contained in the endocytic pathway are classified into four major groups based on the active-site amino acid used by the enzyme to hydrolyze amide bonds of proteins: cysteine, aspartyl, serine, and metalloproteases. The presentation of peptide antigens by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules is strictly dependent on the action of proteases. Class II molecules scour the endocytic pathway for antigenic peptides to bind and present at the cell surface for recognition by CD4+ T cells. The specialized cell types that support antigen presentation by class II molecules are commonly referred to as professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), which include bone marrow-derived B lymphocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), and macrophages. In addition, the expression of certain endocytic proteases is regulated either at the level of gene transcription or enzyme maturation and their activity is controlled by the presence of endogenous protease inhibitors.

Abstract
The function of MHC class II molecules is to bind peptides derived from antigens that access the endocytic route of antigen presenting cells and display them on the plasma membrane for recognition by CD4(+) T cells. Formation of the MHC II-peptide complexes entails the confluence of the antigens and the MHC II molecules in the same compartments of the endocytic route. There, both the antigens and the MHC II molecules undergo a series of orchestrated changes that involve proteases, other hydrolases and chaperones, culminating in the generation of a wide repertoire of MHC II-peptide combinations. All the events that lead to formation of MHC II-peptide complexes show a considerable degree of flexibility; this lack of strict rules is advantageous in that it provides T cells with the maximum amount of information, ensuring that pathogens do not go undetected.

Abstract
MHC class II-restricted antigen presentation requires trafficking of newly synthesized class II-invariant chain complexes from the trans-Golgi network to endosomal, peptide-loading compartments. This transport is mediated by dileucine-like motifs within the cytosolic tail of the invariant chain. Although these signals have been well characterized, the cytosolic proteins that interact with these dileucine signals and mediate Golgi sorting and endosomal transport have not been identified. Recently, an adaptor complex, AP-3, has been identified that interacts with dileucine motifs and mediates endosomal/lysosomal transport in yeast, Drosophila, and mammals. In this report, we have assessed class II-invariant chain trafficking in a strain of mice (mocha) which lacks expression of AP-3. Our studies demonstrate that the lack of AP-3 does not affect the kinetics of invariant chain degradation, the route of class II-invariant chain transport, or the rate and extent of class II-peptide binding as assessed by the generation of SDS-stable dimers. The possible role of other known or unknown adaptor complexes in class II-invariant chain transport is discussed.

Abstract
A biopanning process designed to find peptide epitopes specific for cell surface receptors has been used in this study to select seven- and 12-amino-acid peptides capable of binding to and internalizing with the human transferrin receptor (hTfR). Through sequential rounds of negative and positive selection, two peptide sequences were identified that specifically bind to the hTfR. Phage containing the sequences HAIYPRH or THRPPMWSPVWP were inhibited from binding the hTfR in a dose-dependent fashion when peptides of the same sequence were present in a competition assay. Interestingly, transferrin did not compete with either of these sequences for receptor binding, suggesting that these peptides bind a site on the hTfR distinct from the transferrin binding site. When either of these sequences was expressed as a fusion to green fluorescent protein (GFP), the recombinant GFP molecule was internalized in cells expressing the hTfR. These studies suggest that the two peptides can be used to target other proteins into the endosomal pathway. Further, they provide a strategy for identifying peptides that bind to other cell surface receptors that can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Proteolysis generates the peptides that bind to class II MHC molecules and, by destruction of the invariant chain, prepares the class II MHC molecule for capture of those peptides. A clearer picture is emerging of the proteases, protease inhibitors and other factors that together control the environment for class II MHC peptide loading. However, the details of invariant-chain processing and antigen processing may differ depending on the allele of class II and the antigen substrate under consideration.

Abstract
In addition to its role in exocytosis, SNAP-25 is essential for axonal outgrowth. In order to identify SNARE proteins involved in neurite growth we have used SNAP-25 antibodies to affinity-purify protein complexes enriched in developing rat brain membrane extracts. We have identified a complex between SNAP-25 and syntaxin 13 predominantly present in brain at embryonic or early postnatal stages. We show that syntaxin 13 is developmentally regulated with a decrease in adult brain. In differentiated neuroendocrine PC12 cells as well as primary cortical neurons the protein is localized to a punctated and tubular staining in the perinuclear region and along processes with high levels in the central region of growth cones. Carboxy-terminally tagged syntaxin 13 was also detected on the plasma membrane by in vivo surface-labelling where it colocalized with SNAP-25. Syntaxin 13 has recently been shown to be implicated in early endosomal trafficking. In our study, colocalization with internalized transferrin in the cell body and along neurites confirmed endosomal location in both compartments. Finally, overexpression of full-length syntaxin 13 enhanced neurite outgrowth in NGF-stimulated PC12 cells, whilst it had no effect on regulated secretion. The data suggest that a syntaxin 13-dependent endocytic trafficking step plays a limiting role in membrane expansion during neuronal development.

Abstract
The compartments involved in polarized exocytosis of membrane proteins are not well defined. In this study we hypothesized that newly synthesized polymeric immunoglobulin receptors are targeted from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes prior to their appearance on the basolateral cell surface of polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. To examine this hypothesis, we have used an assay designed to measure the meeting of newly synthesized receptors with a selective population of apical or basolateral endosomes loaded with horseradish peroxidase. We found that in the course of basolateral exocytosis, the wild-type polymeric immunoglobulin receptor is targeted from the trans-Golgi network to apical and basolateral endosomes. Phosphorylation of a Ser residue in the cytoplasmic tail of the receptor is implicated in this process. The biosynthetic pathway of apically sorted polymeric immunoglobulin receptor mutants similarly traversed apical endosomes, raising the possibility that apical receptors are segregated from basolateral receptors in apical endosomes. The post-endocytic pathway of transcytosing and recycling receptors also passed through apical endosomes. Together, these observations are consistent with the possibility that the biosynthetic and endocytic routes merge into endosomes and justify a model suggesting that endosomal recycling processes govern polarized trafficking of proteins traveling in both pathways.
