Autophagy is a degradative mechanism involved in cell protection against invading pathogens. Although the autophagic process is well characterized, the molecular pathways leading to its activation upon pathogen binding remain poorly understood. Our recent work demonstrates that the cell surface pathogen receptor CD46 induces autophagy upon pathogen recognition. The molecular pathway linking CD46 to the autophagosome machinery relies on the scaffold protein GOPC and on the autophagosome formation complex Beclin 1/VPS34. The CD46-dependent autophagy is critical to an early control of infection.
