The high affinity IgE receptor (Fc
RI) is a multisubunit complex
comprised of either 
2 or 

2
chains. The cotranslational assembly of the IgE-binding
-chain with
a dimer of
-chains occurs in a highly controlled manner and is
proposed to involve masking of a dilysine motif present at the
cytoplasmic C terminus of the Fc
RI
-chain that targets
localization of this subunit to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here,
we show that ER quality control modulates export from the ER of newly
synthesized 
2 and 

2 receptors.
We demonstrate that the presence of untrimmed N-linked
core glycans (Glc3Man9GlcNAc2) on
the Fc
RI
-chain activates the ER quality control mechanism to
retain this subunit in the ER, despite the presence of
-chains. At
the same time, the untrimmed, ER-localized
-chain exhibits
IgE-binding activity, suggesting that Fc
RI
-chain folding occurs
before constitutive glucose trimming. In additional experiments, we
demonstrate that cell surface expression of an
-chain C-terminal
truncation mutant is also dependent on glucose trimming, but not on
-chain coexpression. We suggest that glucosidase trimming of
terminal glucose residues is a critical control step in the export of
Fc
RI
from the ER. Finally, we show that the constitutive ER
Fc
RI
-chain, expressed in the absence of the other Fc
RI
subunits, associates with the ER lectin-like chaperone calnexin, but
not the structurally similar ER chaperone calreticulin, presumably
through interaction with monoglucosylated
-chain ER
glycoforms.
