Dinoflagellate symbionts escape vomocytosis by host cell immune suppression

Abstract: Emergence of the symbiotic lifestyle fostered the immense diversity of all ecosystems on Earth, but symbiosis plays a particularly remarkable role in marine ecosystems. Photosynthetic dinoflagellate endosymbionts power reef ecosystems by transferring vital nutrients to their coral hosts. The mechanisms driving this symbiosis, specifically those which allow hosts to discriminate between beneficial symbionts and pathogens, are not well understood. Here, we uncover that host immune suppression is key for dinoflag… Show more

“…This photo-symbiosis sustains the high-energy demands of coral growth and reproduction, including skeleton production by massive calcium carbonate deposition. In addition to diverse metabolic adaptations ( Morris et al, 2019 ), coral immunity is considered to be a major factor for coral endosymbiosis, as well as for modulating interactions with other microbial eukaryotes and prokaryotes ( Jacobovitz et al, 2019 ; Kwong et al, 2019 ).…”
