Cytosolic recognition of flagellin by mouse macrophages restricts Legionella pneumophila infection. [PDF]
To restrict infection by Legionella pneumophila, mouse macrophages require Naip5, a member of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain leucine-rich repeat family of pattern recognition receptors, which detect cytoplasmic microbial products.

Directed Evolution of FLS2 towards Novel Flagellin Peptide Recognition. [PDF]
Microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) are molecules, or domains within molecules, that are conserved across microbial taxa and can be recognized by a plant or animal immune system.

NAIP proteins are required for cytosolic detection of specific bacterial ligands in vivo. [PDF]
NLRs (nucleotide-binding domain [NBD] leucine-rich repeat [LRR]-containing proteins) exhibit diverse functions in innate and adaptive immunity.

Bacteria-released components can modulate host innate immune response in the absence of direct host cell–bacteria interaction. In particular, bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) were recently shown to activate host caspase-11-mediated non ...

Innate immune detection of flagellin positively and negatively regulates salmonella infection. [PDF]
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a flagellated bacterium and one of the leading causes of gastroenteritis in humans. Bacterial flagellin is required for motility and also a prime target of the innate immune system.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa pilin activates the inflammasome [PDF]
IL-1 beta is produced from inactive pro-IL-1 beta by activation of caspase-1 brought about by a multi-subunit protein platform called the inflammasome. Many bacteria can trigger inflammasome activity through flagellin activation of the host protein NLRC4.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli induce pro-inflammatory responses in porcine intestinal epithelial cells [PDF]
F4+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) cause severe diarrhoea in both neonatal and weaning piglets, resulting in morbidity and mortality. F4 fimbriae are a key virulence factor involved in the attachment of F4+ ETEC to the intestinal epithelium ...
