SLIT2/ROBO1-signaling inhibits macropinocytosis by opposing cortical cytoskeletal remodeling
Macrophages survey their surroundings using macropinocytosis, but its regulation is unclear. Here, the authors report that SLIT2, a known inhibitor of Rac GTPases, is an endogenous inhibitor of macropinocytosis, and that SLIT2 limits the uptake of NOD2 ligands into immune cells and subsequent releas...

| Summary: | Macrophages survey their surroundings using macropinocytosis, but its regulation is unclear. Here, the authors report that SLIT2, a known inhibitor of Rac GTPases, is an endogenous inhibitor of macropinocytosis, and that SLIT2 limits the uptake of NOD2 ligands into immune cells and subsequent release of the inflammatory chemokine, CXCL1, in vivo. |
