Abstract
Background: Dectin-1 is able to recognize and phagocytose the fungal carbohydrate, β-1,3-glucan, but its contribution to phagosomal maturation has not been explored.
Results: Dectin-1-dependent Syk activation promotes phagolysosomal fusion and acidification.
Conclusion: Dectin-1-dependent Syk-activation permits egress of early phagosomes to mature phagolysosomes.
Significance: The surface recognition receptor, Dectin-1 shapes anti-fungal responses by controlling fungal phagosome maturation.
