Research Abstract |
We demonstrated that Tecpr1 is an essential component of the WIPI-2-Tecpr1- Atg5-dependent pathway in selective autophagy for Shigella, Salmonella, GAS, aggresomes, and damaged mitochondria. Next we revealed that Shigella deliver a caspase-4-specific inhibitor, OspC3, to antagonize epithelial cell death and promote infection.
