Abstract

Synaptotagmins (Syts) play a key role in the regulation of Ca2+-triggered exocytosis and membrane fusion events, two crucial events associated to the phagocytic process. In the present study, we investigated the role of Syt V, a regulator of focal exocytosis, in phagocytosis. In macrophages, Syt V is localized on recycling endosomes and on filopodia-like structures and is recruited to the nascent phagosomes independently of the phagocytic receptor engaged. Silencing of Syt V by RNA interference revealed a role for this protein for phagocytosis, particularly under conditions of high membrane demand. In contrast, silencing of Syt V had no effect on the recruitment of the lysosomal marker LAMP1 to phagosomes, indicating that phagosome maturation is not regulated by Syt V. Collectively, these results illustrate the importance of Syt V in the regulation of an important innate function of macrophages. Furthermore, our results are consistent with the concept that focal exocytosis of endocytic organelles is a key event in phagocytosis and suggest that Syt V regulates this process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
