Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) molecules display peptides on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) for inspection by CD4+ T cells. MHCII surface levels and life span are regulated post-translationally by peptide loading and ubiquitin-dependent lysosomal targeting, but proteases responsible for MHCII protein degradation remain unidentified. Here, we examined the role of aspartyl proteases in MHCII protein degradation and characterised the form of MHCII that is...
