Eating for good health: Linking autophagy and phagocytosis in host defense
Open accessAbstract
Autophagy is a conserved pathway that sequesters cytoplasmic material and delivers it to lysosomes for degradation. Digestion of portions of the cell interior plays a key role in the recycling of nutrients, remodeling, and disposal of superfluous organelles. Along with its metabolic function, autophagy is an important mechanism for innate immunity against invading bacteria and other pathogens. Multicellular organisms seem to have exploited autophagy to eliminate intracellular pathogens that would otherwise grow in the cytoplasm. Surprisingly, autophagy is involved in the response to extracellular pathogens as well, following their engulfment by conventional phagocytosis. Possible links between these two forms of cellular "eating" represent a new dimension in host defense.

LC3 can be recruited to single-membrane phagosomes in a process termed LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP).
“Recently, it has been demonstrated that LC3 can be recruited to other membranes including single-membrane phagosomes, in a process termed LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP).”
From LC3-Associated Phagocytosis (LAP): Connections with Host Autophagy (2012) · cites this paper as [17]
The Intracellular Pathogens Surrender to Autophagy section says LC3 is conjugated directly to the phagosome without forming an autophagosome. Figure 1 contrasts this single-membrane process with double-membrane autophagy. Our copy does not call the process “LC3-associated phagocytosis” or “LAP.” (LLM, conf=0.83)

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.
