Molecular characterization of the evolution of phagosomes
Amoeba use phagocytosis to internalize bacteria as a source of nutrients, whereas multicellular organisms utilize this process as a defense mechanism to kill microbes and, in vertebrates, initiate a sustained immune response. By using a large‐scale approach to identify and compare the proteome and p...
