phagocytic cup
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
An invagination of the cell membrane formed by an actin dependent process during phagocytosis. Following internalization it is converted into a phagosome. [PMID:10358769]
The phagocytic cup is a dynamic structure formed by the plasma membrane of phagocytic cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, during the process of engulfing large particles like bacteria or cellular debris. It is characterized by a deep invagination of the cell membrane, resembling a cup-shaped structure. The cup-like structure is composed of a complex network of interconnected cellular components that contribute to its formation and function.
**Key components of the phagocytic cup:**
* **Actin filaments:** These are highly dynamic protein fibers that form a dense network beneath the plasma membrane. Actin polymerization and depolymerization drive the extension and retraction of the cup, facilitating the engulfment of the target particle.
* **Myosin motors:** These molecular motors interact with actin filaments, generating the force needed to contract the cup and pull the target particle inwards.
* **Plasma membrane:** The cell membrane is highly flexible and can readily deform to form the cup-like structure. It also contains various receptors that recognize and bind to the target particle, initiating the phagocytosis process.
* **Phosphoinositide lipids:** These lipids are localized to the membrane of the phagocytic cup and play a crucial role in regulating the assembly and disassembly of the cup.
* **Signaling molecules:** Numerous signaling pathways are activated during phagocytosis, including the recruitment of specific proteins and the activation of downstream events that regulate the formation and function of the phagocytic cup.
* **Adhesion molecules:** These molecules mediate the attachment of the target particle to the phagocytic cell. They contribute to the stability of the cup and ensure that the target remains firmly bound during engulfment.
**Functional importance of the phagocytic cup:**
The phagocytic cup is essential for the efficient engulfment and internalization of large particles. Its dynamic nature allows for precise control over the process, ensuring that the target particle is completely enclosed within the cell. The coordinated action of its various components ensures successful phagocytosis, a crucial process for immune defense and tissue homeostasis.'
