The immune system has developed specialized mechanisms to recognize intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I-Related molecule (MR1) is a conserved nonclassical antigen presenting molecule that presents ligands derived from microbial riboflavin synthesis to Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells. While endosomal trafficking facilitates MR1 antigen presentation during Mtb infection, the exact mechanisms by which MR1 loading of Mtb-derived ligands occurs are not known. We found that trafficking through sorting endosomes mediates MR1 antigen presentation during Mtb infection. Sorting endosomes utilize trafficking proteins such as Syntaxin 6, Syntaxin 12, Syntaxin 16 and VAMP4. Prior work demonstrates the importance of VAMP4 for MR1 presentation during Mtb infection; we have found that Stx12 and Stx16 are also important. Interference with Stx12 or Stx16 via siRNA-mediated knockdown reduces MR1 antigen presentation of Mtb. Using RFP-tagged constructs, we found Stx16 co-localized more with MR1 vesicles compared to Stx12 in MR1-GFP expressing airway epithelial cells. Stx12 and Stx16 blockade increase MR1 surface stabilization and total expression, indicating that impaired endosomal trafficking hinders MR1 internalization. Together, these findings support a role for sorting endosomes in the selective sampling of the intracellular environment and MR1-mediated recognition of Mtb-infected cells.
