Pyrin- and CARD-only Proteins as Regulators of NLR Functions
Upon activation Nod-like receptors (NLRs) assemble into multi-protein complexes such as the NODosome and inflammasome. This process relies upon homo domain interactions between the structurally related Pyrin and caspase-recruitment (CARD) domains and adaptor proteins, such as ASC, or effector proteins, such as caspase-1. Although a variety of NLRP and NLRC complexes have been described along wi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Nod-Like Receptor (NLR) Effector Domain Interactions
Members of the Nod-like receptor (NLR) family recognize intracellular pathogens and recruit a variety of effector molecules, including pro-caspases and kinases, which in turn are implicated in cytokine processing and NF-kappaB activation.In order to elucidate the intricate network of NLR signaling, which is still fragmentary in molecular terms, we applied comprehensive yeast two-hybrid analysis...
متن کاملEvolution and Conservation of Plant NLR Functions
In plants and animals, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeats (NLR)-containing proteins play pivotal roles in innate immunity. Despite their similar biological functions and protein architecture, comparative genome-wide analyses of NLRs and genes encoding NLR-like proteins suggest that plant and animal NLRs have independently arisen in evolution. Furthermore, the demonstration of in...
متن کاملNon-apoptotic functions of apoptosis-regulatory proteins.
During the past two decades, apoptotic cell death has been the subject of an intense wave of investigation, leading to the discovery of multiple gene products that govern both its induction and execution. In parallel, it has progressively become evident that most, if not all, proteins that had initially been discovered for their essential role in apoptosis also mediate a wide range of non-apopt...
متن کاملEditorial: NLR-Protein Functions in Immunity
Since Janeway (1) and Matzinger (2) put forward two distinct concepts of innate immune recognition, arguing that the driving force that initiates immune reponses is the recognition of microbial patterns or endogenous danger signals, respectively, we have acquired a tremendous wealth of knowledge of the protein families involved. Host-encoded pattern-recognition molecules (PRM) sense conservedmi...
