Leupeptin added to the culture medium blocks processing of Ii, prevents its dissociation from the class II molecules and leads to an intracellular accumulation of a 22 kDa intermediate form of Ii. We show here that leupeptin has a very general effect on protein transport in the endocytic pathway. When added to Mel Juso cells leupeptin reduces the transport of endocytosed material from multivesicular body-like, endosome carrier vesicles (ECV) to the prelysosomal compartment (late endosome) and leads to a concomitant increase in the number of ECV. Our results argue that one effect of leupeptin, related to antigen processing and presentation, is to block transport of antigen and/or MHC class II molecules to prelysosomal compartments. abstract_translated_lang: eng date: 1992 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00008553 schriftenreihe_cluster_id: sr-2 schriftenreihe_order: 063 ppn_swb: 135403077X own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-85535 language: eng bibsort: ZACHGOSABIABLOCKINDE1992 full_text_status: public publication: The Journal of Cell Science volume: 103 pagerange: 811-822 citation: Zachgo, Sabine ; Dobberstein, Bernhard ; Griffiths, Gareth (1992) A block in degradation of MHC class II-associated invariant chain correlates with a reduction in transport from endosome carrier vesicles to the prelysosome compartment.
