A phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate redistribution-based sensing mechanism initiates a phagocytosis programing

The origin of Fc receptor-based phagocytosis is unknown, although plasma lipid redistribution after solid structure binding induces similar phagocytic signaling. Here, Mu et al. show that PIP2 accumulation from plasma membrane deformation recruits Moesin to trigger receptor-independent phagocytosis.
