Figure 1. CLR control of uptake and degradation of cell corpses.
CLRs regulation of uptake of apoptotic (Mgl1, Lox-1 or DEC-205) or necrotic cells (DEC-205 or DNGR-1). DNGR-1 and LOX-1 promote localisation of cargo to an early endosome compartment. In particular, DNGR-1 sequesters cargo in a poorly degradative early endocytic compartment that favours class I cross-presentation. Mgl1 and DEC-205 primarily deliver cargo to a late endosome-lysosomal compartment, which is best suited for MHC class II presentation.
