A core set of autophagy proteins is required for gamma interferon
(IFN-?)-mediated clearance of Toxoplasma gondii in the mouse because of their
control of several downstream effectors, including immunity-related GTPases
(IRGs) and guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs). However, these effectors are absent
(i.e., IRGs) from or nonessential (i.e., GBPs) in IFN-?-activated human cells,
raising the question of how these cells control parasite replication. Here, we
define a novel role for ubiquitination and recruitment of autophagy adaptors in
the strain-specific control of T. gondii replication in IFN-?-activated human
cells. Vacuoles containing susceptible strains of T. gondii became ubiquitinated,
recruited the adaptors p62 and NDP52, and were decorated with LC3. Parasites
within LC3-positive vacuoles became enclosed in multiple layers of host
membranes, resulting in stunting of parasite replication. However, LC3-positive
T. gondii-containing vacuoles did not fuse with endosomes and lysosomes,
indicating that this process is fundamentally different from xenophagy, a form of
autophagy involved in the control of intracellular bacterial pathogens. Genetic
knockout of ATG16L or ATG7 reverted the membrane encapsulation and restored
parasite replication, indicating that core autophagy proteins involved in LC3
conjugation are important in the control of parasite growth. Despite a role for
the core autophagy machinery in this process, upstream activation through Beclin
1 was not sufficient to enhance the ubiquitination of T. gondii-containing
vacuoles, suggesting a lack of reliance on canonical autophagy. These findings
demonstrate a new mechanism for IFN-?-dependent control of T. gondii in human
cells that depends on ubiquitination and core autophagy proteins that mediate
membrane engulfment and restricted growth. IMPORTANCE: Autophagy is a process of
cellular remodeling that allows the cell to recycle senescent organelles and
recapture nutrients. During innate immune responses in the mouse, autophagy is
recruited to help target intracellular pathogens and thus eliminate them.
However, the antimicrobial mediators that depend on autophagy in the mouse are
not conserved in humans, raising the issue of how human cells control
intracellular pathogens. Our study defines a new pathway for the control of the
ubiquitous intracellular parasite T. gondii in human cells activated by IFN-?.
Recruitment of autophagy adaptors resulted in engulfment of the parasite in
multiple membranes and growth impairment. Although susceptible type 2 and 3
stains of T. gondii were captured by this autophagy-dependent pathway, type 1
strains were able to avoid entrapment.
