Group A Streptococcus modulates RAB1- and PIK3C3 complex-dependent autophagy
10 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Autophagy selectively targets invading bacteria to defend cells, whereas bacterial pathogens counteract autophagy to survive in cells. The initiation of canonical autophagy involves the PIK3C3 complex, but autophagy targeting Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is PIK3C3-independent. We report that GAS infection elicits both PIK3C3-dependent and -independent autophagy, and that the GAS effector NAD-glycohydrolase (Nga)...
