Research Abstract |
Phagocytosis has a crucial role in immune defense and development. In this study, using multicolor living cell imaging, it is found that Rab35 is involved in Fc-gamma receptor mediated phagocytosis. Rab35 is localized in phagocytic cup and maturing phagosome. In maturing phagosome, Rab35 and its effecter molecule, MICAL-L1 are budding form phagosome as tubular structures. These results are suggesting that Rab35/ MICAL-L1 play roles in receptor recycling or antigen presentation in Fc-gamma mediated phagocytosis.
