Peptide-class II complexes are assembled in endocytic, lysosome-like compartments where newly synthesized class II molecules are targeted from the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Recent studies have implicated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) as an essential component in membrane trafficking from the TGN to lysosomes. Here, using subcellular fractionation, we show PI3-kinase activity associated with subcellular fractions which contain the class II peptide-loading compartment (IIPLC) in B cells. At concentrations required for inhibition of PI3-kinase activity in vivo, wortmannin blocked the processing and presentation of antigen by B cells to T cells. Treatment of B cells with wortmannin significantly limited the proteolytic degradation of invariant chain and the formation of peptide-class II complexes. Subcellular fractionation coupled with pulse-chase analyses showed that invariant chain and class II molecules trafficked to the IIPLC in wortmannin-treated cells. However, wortmannin prevented the maturation and correct targeting to the IIPLC of cathepsin D, a protease necessary for the degradation of invariant chain and assembly of processed antigen-class II complexes. These results suggest that li-class II complexes traffic to the IIPLC via a pathway that is relatively insensitive to wortmannin, but suggest a role for PI3-kinases in the trafficking of other components necessary for the assembly of processed antigen class II complexes to the IIPLC.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.
