High impact information on Phagocytosis

  • (2005) demonstrate that Eater, a scavenger receptor, plays an important role in the recognition and phagocytosis of bacteria in the fruit fly Drosophila [10].
  • Surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) are lung collectins composed of two regions, a globular head domain that binds PAMPs and a collagenous tail domain that initiates phagocytosis [11].
  • However, interaction of these heads with PAMPs on foreign organisms or damaged cells and presentation of the collagenous tails in an aggregated state to calreticulin/CD91, stimulates phagocytosis and proinflammatory responses [11].
  • In mammalian cells, ELMO1 functionally cooperates with CrkII and Dock180 to promote phagocytosis and cell shape changes [12].
  • Coronin involved in phagocytosis: dynamics of particle-induced relocalization visualized by a green fluorescent protein Tag [13].

Gene context of Phagocytosis

  • Taken together with available morphologic and biochemical information, these findings are consistent with a mechanism wherein interactions of actin, ABP and myosin redistribute cortical cytoplasm into pseudopods involved in locomotion and phagocytosis [23].
  • Neutrophils carry Fc receptor II (FcRII; CDw32) and FcRIII (CD16) which both bind IgG-containing immune complexes, leading to phagocytosis of the complex and activation of the neutrophil [31].
  • Here we show that apoptotic cells interact with CD14, triggering phagocytosis of the apoptotic cells [32].
  • MBL binds to specific carbohydrate structures found on the surface of a range of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts, parasitic protozoa and viruses, and exhibits antibacterial activity through killing mediated by the terminal, lytic complement components or by promoting phagocytosis [33].
  • A co-stimulatory signal through ICAM-beta2 integrin-binding potentiates neutrophil phagocytosis [34].
