We have studied the degradation of the free major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II beta subunit in the ER. Domain swapping experiments demonstrate that both the intra- and extracellular domain determine the rate of degradation. Recently, it has been shown that some ER-retained proteins are exported from the ER by the translocon followed by deglycosylation and degradation in the cytosol by proteasomes. Degradation of the beta chain follows a different route. The proteasome is involved but inhibition of the proteasome by lactacystin does not result in deglycosylation and export to the cytosol. Instead, the beta chain is retained in the ER implying that extraction of the beta chain from the ER membrane requires proteasome activity. Surprisingly, brefeldin A accelerates the degradation of the beta chain by the proteasome. This suggests that various processes outside the ER are involved in ER-degradation. The ER is the site from where misfolded class II beta chains enter a proteasome-dependent degradation pathway.
