The major histocompatibility class II (MHCII) transactivator (CIITA) has long been known as the master regulator of MHCII genes, which are critical for normal immune function (reviewed in Reith and colleagues (1) and Krawczyk and Reith (2)). CIITA is a non–DNA‐binding coactivator that specifically regulates expression of MHCII molecules, with CIITA deficiency leading to the rare human immunodeficiency disease termed bare lymphocyte syndrome.(3) CIITA also regulates expression of genes encoding accessory proteins required for MHCII‐restricted antigen presentation, thus CIITA is central to controlling the response to foreign antigens and the maintenance of tolerance.(1, 2) In this issue of the
