ACKR4a induces autophagy to block NF-κB signaling and apoptosis to facilitate Vibrio harveyi infection

Abstract excerpt

Autophagy and apoptosis are two recognized mechanisms of resistance to bacterial invasion. However, bacteria have likewise evolved the ability to evade immunity. In this study, we identify ACKR4a, a member of an atypical chemokine receptor family, as a suppressor of the NF-κB pathway, which cooperates with Beclin-1 to induce autophagy to inhibit NF-κB signaling and block apoptosis, facilitating Vibrio harveyi...
