Licensing Adaptive Immunity by NOD-Like Receptors
The innate immune system is composed of a diverse set of host defense molecules, physical barriers, and specialized leukocytes and is the primary form of immune defense against environmental insults. Another crucial role of innate immunity is to shape the long-lived adaptive immune response mediated by T and B lymphocytes. The activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) from the Toll-lik...
متن کاملNod-Like Receptors: Cytosolic Watchdogs for Immunity against Pathogens
In mammals, tissue-specific sets of pattern-recognition molecules, including Nod-like receptors (NLR), enable concomitant and sequential detection of microbial-associated molecular patterns from both the extracellular and intracellular microenvironment. Repressing and de-repressing the cytosolic surveillance machinery contributes to vital immune homeostasis and protective responses within speci...
متن کاملNOD-Like Receptors in Infection, Immunity, and Diseases
Nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) are pattern-recognition receptors similar to toll-like receptors (TLRs). While TLRs are transmembrane receptors, NLRs are cytoplasmic receptors that play a crucial role in the innate immune response by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Based on the...
متن کاملNOD-LIKE RECEPTORS (NLRs)
NLR Proteins In mammals, germ-line encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) detect the presence of pathogens either directly through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or indirectly through sensing host-derived danger signals (DAMPs). The innate immune system comprises several classes of PRRs that allow the early detection of pathogens at the site of infection. Th...
متن کاملNOD-like receptors and inflammation
The nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat (also known as NOD-like receptors, both abbreviated to NLR) family of intracellular pathogen recognition receptors are increasingly being recognized to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of a number of rare monogenic diseases, as well as some more common polygenic conditions. Bacterial wall constituents and other cellul...
