RAB5A and infection: This is consistent with our observation that knocking down dynamin (encoded bydyn-1), which is involved in the scission of newly formed clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle from the cell membrane, or the small GTPase Rab5 (rab-5), which characterizes early endosomes derived from dynamin-dependent and independent endocytosis, abrogates nlp-29 gene expression after infection [7].
