Autophagy-related genes with reported roles in anti-viral, -bacterial, and -fungal immunity in D. melanogaster and C. elegans are shown, together with the yeast/human homologs. VSV, vesicular stomatitis virus; Cry5B, pore-forming toxin from B. thuringiensis. See Fig. 1 for a functional overview of autophagy genes, and the text for details.
