59. Shin, J.-S. et al. Surface expression of MHC class II in dendritic cells is controlled by regulated ubiquitination. Nature 444, 115-118 (2006). This study shows that regulation of cell-surface expression of MHC class II molecules by DCs is achieved in part by ubiquitylation of the cytoplasmic tail of MHC class II β-chain. Following DC maturation, the rate of this post-translational modification decreased, resulting in the accumulation of MHC class II molecules at the cell surface.

This study shows that the herpes simplex virus type 1 protein ICP34.5 binds to the mammalian autophagy protein beclin-1 and inhibits its autophagy function, which indicates that microorganisms can target key molecules in autophagy to evade immunity.
