Phagosomal Escape Does Not Require Acidification of the Phagosome [PDF]
Following uptake, Francisella tularensis enters a phagosome that acquires limited amounts of lysosome-associated membrane glycoproteins and does not acquire cathepsin D or markers of secondary lysosomes. With additional time after uptake, F.

Phagosomal transport depends strongly on phagosome size [PDF]
AbstractMacrophages internalize pathogens for intracellular degradation. An important part of this process is the phagosomal transport from the cell periphery to the perinuclear region. Biochemical factors are known to influence the fate of phagosomes. Here, we show that the size of phagosomes also has a strong influence on their transport.

Isolation and western blotting of latex-bead phagosomes to track phagosome maturation
Phagocytosis plays an essential role in the immune system for the defense against invading microorganisms and the clearing of apoptotic cells. After internalization, the newly formed phagosome is constantly remodeled by fusion with early endosomes, late ...

Endosomal and Phagosomal SNAREs [PDF]
The soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) protein family is of vital importance for organelle communication. The complexing of cognate SNARE members present in both the donor and target organellar membranes drives the membrane fusion required for intracellular transport.

Macrophage‐derived MLKL in alcohol‐associated liver disease: Regulation of phagocytosis
EtOH causes leaky gut allowing bacteria and PAMPs into the liver, resulting in hepatic inflammation and injury. We demonstrate that LPS induces STAT1‐mediated expression and phosphorylation of MLKL in macrophages and identify a novel function that myeloid MLKL translocates to phagosomes and lysosomes and regulates phagocytosis, which contributes to the

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Phagosome [PDF]
Tuberculosis is currently the most devastating human bacterial disease, causing millions of deaths annually and infecting an overwhelming percentage of the global population. Its success as a scourge lies in the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to prevent normal phagolysosome biogenesis, essential to the destruction of invading microorganisms ...

TRPC6 channel translocation into phagosomal membrane augments phagosomal function [PDF]
SignificanceHistorically, pulmonary infections treated with antibiotics killed bacteria while selecting for the unintended development of pathogenic resistance. One strategy to circumvent antibiotic resistance in pulmonary infection involves targeting the host phagosome and augmenting its function.

Analysis of phagosomal proteomes: From latex‐bead to bacterial phagosomes [PDF]
Abstract Phagosomal proteome characterization has contributed significantly to the understanding of host–pathogen interaction and the mechanism of infectious diseases caused by intracellular bacteria. The latex bead‐containing phagosome has been widely used as a model system to study phagosomal proteomes at a global level. In contrast,

The macrophage marches on its phagosome: dynamic assays of phagosome function [PDF]
Professional phagocytes ingest particulate material to fulfil a diverse array of functions in a multicellular organism. The ancestral function of phagosomes is digestion; however, through evolution this degradative capacity has become pivotal to the adaptive immune response by processing antigens to be presented to lymphocytes.

Phagosome proteomes open the way to a better understanding of phagosome function [PDF]
Phagocytic cells take up microbes and other particles into membrane-bounded organelles called phagosomes. Studies on the protein and lipid composition of model phagosomes containing latex beads are the first step in a systems-biology approach to understanding how these organelles function.
