Defects in a form of noncanonical autophagy, known as LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), lead to increased inflammatory pathology during fungal infection. Although LAP contributes to fungal degradation, the molecular mechanisms underlying LAP-mediated modulation of inflammation are unknown. We describe a mechanism by which inflammation is regulated during LAP through the death-associated protein kinase...
Candida albicans is a well-tolerated resident of human mucosal tissues. This implies that host defense mechanisms cooperate to limit inflammation while controlling fungal burden. The cytokine IL-22 and inflammasomes are essential components of the mucosal responses to C. albicans. How these components cooperate to mediate the balance of inflammation and host defense is not explored. We find that NLRP3...
