Polyubiquitination Is Required for US11-dependent Movement of MHC Class I Heavy Chain from Endoplasmic Reticulum into Cytosol

Abstract: The human cytomegalovirus protein US11 induces the dislocation of MHC class I heavy chains from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into the cytosol for degradation by the proteasome. With the use of a fractionated, permeabilized cell system, we find that US11 activity is needed only in the cell membranes and that additional cytosolic factors are required for heavy chain dislocation. We identify ubiquitin as one of the required cytosolic factors. Cytosol depleted of ubiquitin does not support heavy chain dislocatio… Show more

“…S8D), although it did block cross-presentation (20). This differential effect is relevant to a previously proposed mechanism whereby ubiquitin conjugation serves as a "ratchet" to dislocate ERmisfolded proteins into the cytosol, a model based on the fact that most of the proteins exported from the ER are polyubiquitinylated (31,32). However, our results indicate that ubiquitination is essential for the proteasome-mediated processing of T-cell epitopes but is dispensable for the translocation of endosomal antigen into the cytosol.…”

“…It has been previously proposed that for some ERAD substrates dislocation involves a step in which luminal domains are only partially exposed to the cytosolic side (32,33). To investigate this point, we used two additional constructs in which the BAP tag was moved to positions on the luminal side proximal to the transmembrane domains of both CD4 and Tetherin (18 and 12 amino acids, respectively) (Fig.…”

“…Retrotranslocation is facilitated by the cytosolic Cdc48p-Ufd1p-Npl4p complex, which associates with Hrd1p and Doa10p via membrane-bound Ubx2p (4, 8 -10), and likely uses ATP hydrolysis to both unfold ERAD substrates and extract them from the ER membrane (11)(12)(13). Polyubiquitination then occurs either simultaneously with or immediately after retrotranslocation (14,15).…”
