HighlightsCell surface transport of MHC class I molecules is determined by their folding, peptide binding, and interaction with chaperones.Class I molecules that lack peptide or β 2 m can reach post-ER compartments and are often recognized and returned to the ER.Cellular quality control probably detects the partial unfolding and/or conformational flexibility of partially assembled class I molecules.There is no evidence for preferred ER export of peptide-bound class I.Folding and peptide binding of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules have been thoroughly researched, but the mechanistic connection between these biochemical events and the progress of class I through the early secretory pathway is much less well understood. This review focuses on the question how the partially assembled forms of class I (which lack high-affinity peptide and/or the light chain beta-2 microglobulin) are retained inside the cell. Such investigations offer researchers exciting chances to understand the connections between class I structure, conformational dynamics, peptide binding kinetics and thermodynamics, intracellular transport, and antigen presentation.
