Abstract
AbstractAntigen presenting cells (APCs) that express a catalytically inactive version of the deubiquitylase YOD1 (YOD1-C160S) present exogenous antigens more efficiently to CD8+ T cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Compared with controls, immunization of YOD1-C160S mice led to greater expansion of specific CD8+ T cells and showed improved control of infection with a recombinant γ-herpes virus, MHV-68, engineered to express SIINFEKL peptide, the ligand for the ovalbumin-specific TCR transgenic OT-I cells. Enhanced expansion of specific CD8+ T cells was likewise observed on infection of YOD1-C160S mice with a recombinant influenza A virus expressing SIINFEKL. YOD1-C160S APCs retained antigen longer than did control APCs. Enhanced cross-presentation by YOD1-C160S APCs was transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP1)–independent but sensitive to inclusion of inhibitors of acidification and of the proteasome. The activity of deubiquitylating enzymes may thus help control antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses during immunization.
