The role of autophagy in intracellular pathogen nutrient acquisition
Following entry into host cells intracellular pathogens must simultaneously evade innate host defense mechanisms and acquire energy and anabolic substrates from the nutrient-limited intracellular environment. Most of the potential intracellular nutrient sources are stored within complex macromolecules that are not immediately accessible by intracellular pathogens. To obtain nutrients for prolif...
متن کاملRoles of Autophagy in Elimination of Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens
As a fundamental intracellular catabolic process, autophagy is important and required for the elimination of protein aggregates and damaged cytosolic organelles during a variety of stress conditions. Autophagy is now being recognized as an essential component of innate immunity; i.e., the recognition, selective targeting, and elimination of microbes. Because of its crucial roles in the innate i...
متن کاملBacterial Autophagy: Offense and Defense at the Host–Pathogen Interface
Autophagy is a fundamental cellular process used for the turnover and recycling of cytosolic components and damaged organelles. Originally characterized as a response to cellular stress, it now is well established that autophagy also is used as a defensive mechanism to combat the infection of host cells by intracellular pathogens. However, although this defensive strategy does limit the prolife...
متن کاملOrientia tsutsugamushi: A neglected but fascinating obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen
Our understanding of the molecular systems that bacteria have developed over millennia of evolutionary tinkering remains limited compared with the incredible diversity of the bacterial kingdom. A detailed understanding of the tricks and tools developed by the bacterial world provides insights into fundamental processes in biology (e.g., transcriptional networks), provides researchers with inspi...
متن کاملThe Interplay of Reovirus with Autophagy
Autophagy participates in multiple fundamental physiological processes, including survival, differentiation, development, and cellular homeostasis. It eliminates cytoplasmic protein aggregates and damaged organelles by triggering a series of events: sequestering the protein substrates into double-membrane vesicles, fusing the vesicles with lysosomes, and then degrading the autophagic contents. ...
