Autophagy and checkpoints for intracellular pathogen defense
12 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Autophagy plays a crucial role in intracellular defense against various pathogens. Xenophagy is a form of selective autophagy that targets intracellular pathogens for degradation. In addition, several related, yet distinct, intracellular defense responses depend on autophagy-related genes. This review gives an overview of these processes, pathogen strategies to subvert them, and their crosstalk...
