Many intracellular pathogens reside in host-membrane-encased vacuoles, but the mechanism initiating xenophagic targeting of these vacuoles was unknown. A recent study identifies the host vacuolar-ATPase as essential to xenophagic clearance and the Salmonellae effector SopF that inhibits bacterial clearance by its ADP-ribosylation.
