Recognition of Pathogenic Microbes by the Drosophila Phagocytic Pattern Recognition Receptor Eater

26 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

Non-opsonic phagocytosis is a primordial form of pathogen recognition that is mediated by the direct interaction of phagocytic receptors with microbial surfaces. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the EGF-like repeat containing scavenger receptor Eater is expressed by phagocytes and is required to survive infections with gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. However, the mechanisms by which this...
