Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 94:1997;12932-12937. This paper provides compelling in vitro evidence for the involvement of the αvβ5 integrin in the recognition of fragments of rod outer segments by the retinal pigment epithelial cells; it supports the argument that 'nonprofessional' phagocytes use specific molecular mechanisms of recognition although they might use similar molecular mechanisms of engulfment as those used by 'specialized' macrophages that involve CD36 [14].

This paper demonstrates that CD14, a receptor previously known for its role in the phagocytosis of pathogens, also acts as a phagocytic receptor for apoptotic cells in vitro; thus it provides the first evidence that phagocytosis of pathogens and apoptotic cells may share similar molecular mechanisms of recognition and engulfment.

This paper reports the first molecular characterization of an engulfment mutant, CED-5, in worms. The similarities between CED-5, the human protein DOCK180 and the Drosophila protein MBC strongly suggest that the molecular mechanisms of phagocytosis of apoptotic cells have been conserved throughout evolution and that CED-5 may trigger cytoskeletal rearrangements within the engulfing cell that has engaged a corpse.

This describes the molecular characterization of CED-7 as an ABC transporter (as predicted by Luciani and Chimini [31]), which further supports the idea that the mechanisms of phagocytosis of apoptotic cells have been evolutionary conserved. Together with [31], this report highlights the possibility of a new mechanism of recognition of apoptotic cells by phagocytes that would involve homotypic interactions.

This paper describes the characterization of a molecule which contains a phosphotyrosine-binding domain and which acts in the signal transduction pathway that specifically mediates both recognition and engulfment of apoptotic corpses in worms.
