PG - 7256-64 LID - 10.1074/jbc.M111.305961 [doi] AB - HLA-DM plays an essential role in the peptide loading of classical class II molecules and is present both at the cell surface and in late endosomal peptide-loading compartments. Trafficking of DM within antigen-presenting cells is complex and is, in part, controlled by a tyrosine-based targeting signal present in the cytoplasmic tail of DMbeta. Here, we show that DM also undergoes post-translational modification through ubiquitination of a single lysine residue present in the cytoplasmic tail of the alpha chain, DMalpha. Ubiquitination of DM by MARCH1 and MARCH9 induced loss of DM molecules from the cell surface by a mechanism that cumulatively involved both direct attachment of ubiquitin chains to DMalpha and a functional tyrosine-based signal on DMbeta. In contrast, MARCH8-induced loss of surface DM was entirely dependent upon the tyrosine signal on DMbeta. In the absence of this tyrosine residue, levels of DM remained unchanged irrespective of whether DMalpha was ubiquitinated by MARCH8. The influence of MARCH8 was indirect and may have resulted from modification of components of the endocytic machinery by ubiquitination.
