Regulated trafficking of major histocompatibility complex class II and CD86 is a prerequisite of antigen presenting cell functionality. Authors show here that ubiquitin-like protein 3 is critically involved in the ubiquitination process that controls trafficking, with wide-ranging immunological consequences.
