Bridging Toll-like- and B cell-receptor signaling: meet me at the autophagosome
Abstract
In this issue of Immunity, Chaturvedi et al. (2008) describe a mechanism for the bridging of innate and adaptive immune receptor functions. In their model, B cell-receptor signaling induces the fusion of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)-containing endosomes with internalized signaling-competent BCR into autophagosomes.

The B cell receptor governs the subcellular location of Toll-like receptor 9 leading to hyperresponses to DNA-containing antigens.Immunity. 2008 Jun;28(6):799-809. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2008.03.019. Epub 2008 May 29. Immunity. 2008. PMID: 18513998 Free PMC article.
