Because the double membrane structures into which ubiquitinated WT Mm were sequestered resemble autophagosomes, and M. tuberculosis has been reported to localize to autophagosomes and then to autolysosomes after induction of autophagy [20], we tested whether LC3, an early marker for autophagy [14], co-localized with ubiquitinated WT Mm at various times after infection. This evidence concerns the gene MAP1LC3A and infection.
