Dans le cytoplasme des cellules infectées, Listeria est confrontée à une deuxième barrière de surveillance : l’autophagie. Quand la cellule détecte un corps étranger dans son cytoplasme, elle l’entoure d’une vacuole - un autophagosome. Tout comme celui des phagosomes des macrophages, le contenu de cet autophagosome est dégradé par fusion avec des lysosomes. 5, record 1, French, - autophagosome
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Au cours de la macroautophagie, la membrane externe de l’autophagosome fusionne avec celle du lysosome et la membrane interne est digérée par les hydrolases lysosomales en même temps que le matériel séquestré. 4, record 1, French, - autophagosome
