Phagocytic cells engulf their prey into vesicular structures called phagosomes, of which a certain proportion becomes demarcated for enhanced maturation by a process called LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). Light has now been shed on the molecular requirements of LAP, establishing a central role for the protein Rubicon in the immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus.
吞噬细胞将它们的猎物吞噬到称为吞噬体的囊泡结构中,其中一定比例的吞噬体通过一种称为 LC3 相关的吞噬作用(LAP)的过程被划定为增强成熟。现在已经揭示了 LAP 的分子要求,确立了蛋白质 Rubicon 在曲霉免疫反应中的核心作用。
