Journal ArticleDOI
Rab7 is required for the normal progression of the autophagic pathway in mammalian cells
TL;DR: Results indicate that a functional Rab7 is important for the normal progression of autophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autophagy induction favours the generation and maturation of the Coxiella‐replicative vacuoles
Maximiliano G. Gutierrez,Cristina Lourdes Vázquez,Daniela B. Munafó,Felipe Carlos Martín Zoppino,Walter Berón,Michel Rabinovitch,María Isabel Colombo +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that transit through the autophagic pathway increases the infection with Coxiella by providing a niche more favourable to their initial survival and multiplication.
Journal ArticleDOI
The autophagic pathway is actively modulated by phase II Coxiella burnetii to efficiently replicate in the host cell.
Patricia Silvia Romano,Maximiliano G. Gutierrez,Walter Berón,Michel Rabinovitch,María Isabel Colombo +4 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that C.’burnetii transits through the normal endo/phagocytic pathway but actively interacts with autophagosomes at early times after infection, possibly favouring the intracellular differentiation and survival of the bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coxiella burnetii Localizes in a Rab7-Labeled Compartment with Autophagic Characteristics
TL;DR: Results suggest that Rab7 participates in the biogenesis of the parasitophorous vacuoles in Coxiella burnetii, and suggest that the agent of Q fever in humans and of coxiellosis in other animals interacts with the autophagic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phagocytosed live Listeria monocytogenes influences Rab5-regulated in vitro phagosome-endosome fusion.
Carmen Alvarez-Dominguez,Alejandro M. Barbieri,Walter Berón,Walter Berón,Angela Wandinger-Ness,Philip D. Stahl +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that rab5 regulates phagosome-endosome fusion and that live microorganisms can up-regulate this process by recruiting rab5 to the membrane.
