In comparison to viral infections, Mtb antigens are relatively limited and hence, challenging to sample. Specialized antigen presentation pathways enable the presentation of such scarce antigens to CD8\n                  <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                  T cells, which are, thus, uniquely poised to survey intracellular environments. A subset of CD8\n                  <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                  T cells prevalent in the airways, known as mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, can be activated through the presentation of Mtb antigens via the MHC class I-related protein 1 (MR1) molecule. Prior work demonstrates that endosomal calcium signaling is critical for MR1-mediated presentation of Mtb-derived antigens. Here, we show that the calcium-sensing trafficking proteins Synaptotagmin (Syt) 1 and Syt7 specifically promote MAIT cell activation in response to Mtb-infected cells. In bronchial epithelial cells, Syt1 and Syt7 localize to late endo-lysosomes and MR1 vesicles. Loss of Syt1 and Syt7 results in enlarged MR1 vesicles and an increased number of MR1 vesicles in close proximity to Mtb-containing vacuoles during infection. This study identifies a specialized pathway in which Syt1 and Syt7 facilitate the translocation of MR1 from Mtb-containing vacuoles, potentially to the cell surface for antigen presentation.\n                <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2025.06.23.660389","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,27]],"date-time":"2025-06-27T11:05:20Z","timestamp":1751022320000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Synaptotagmin 1 and Synaptotagmin 7 promote MR1-mediated presentation of\n                  <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/i>\n                  antigens"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6704-4644","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Se-Jin","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"},{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessie C.","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA Portland Health Care System, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Olive","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fikadu G.","family":"Tafesse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Corinna A.","family":"Kulicke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elham","family":"Karamooz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"},{"name":"VA Portland Health Care System, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David M.","family":"Lewinsohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA"},{"name":"VA Portland Health Care System, Portland, OR 97239, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2026020608153631000_2025.06.23.660389v2.1","unstructured":"Global Tuberculosis Report 2024.
