Evolution and Conservation of Plant NLR Functions [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2013
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 ...

NLR, d-NLR and PLR can be affected by many factors

International Immunopharmacology, 2021
We have read the article by Yang et al, entitled "The diagnostic and predictive role of NLR, d-NLR and PLR in COVID-19 patients" with great interest. The authors emphasized that the NLR (Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio) is an independent prognostic biomarker for COVID-19 patients. First of all, we congratulate the authors for their valuable contribution

NLR receptor networks in plants [PDF]

Essays in Biochemistry, 2022
Abstract To fight off diverse pathogens and pests, the plant immune system must recognize these invaders; however, as plant immune receptors evolve to recognize a pathogen, the pathogen often evolves to escape this recognition. Plant–pathogen co-evolution has led to the vast expansion of a family of intracellular immune receptors ...

NLR-parser: rapid annotation of plant NLR complements [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2015
Abstract Motivation: The repetitive nature of plant disease resistance genes encoding for nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins hampers their prediction with standard gene annotation software. Motif alignment and search tool (MAST) has previously been reported as a tool to support annotation of NLR-encoding genes. However,

The geographical distribution and socioeconomic risk factors of COVID-19, tuberculosis and leprosy in Fortaleza, Brazil

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2023
Background Fortaleza (Brazil) is high endemic for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy. These three diseases share respiratory droplets through coughing or sneezing as the main mode of transmission but differ in incubation ...

Determining target populations for leprosy prophylactic interventions: a hotspot analysis in Indonesia

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Leprosy incidence remained at around 200,000 new cases globally for the last decade. Current strategies to reduce the number of new patients include early detection and providing post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to at-risk populations.

Animal NLRs provide structural insights into plant NLR function [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2016
The plant immune system employs intracellular NLRs (nucleotide binding [NB], leucine-rich repeat [LRR]/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain [NOD]-like receptors) to detect effector proteins secreted into the plant cell by potential pathogens.

Animal NLRs continue to inform plant NLR structure and function [PDF]

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2019
Plant NLRs share many of the structural hallmarks of their animal counterparts. At a functional level, the central nucleotide-binding pocket appears to have binding and hydrolysis activities, similar to that of animal NLRs. The TIR domains of plant NLRs have been shown to self-associate, and there is emerging evidence that full-length plant NLRs may do

The Predictive Role of NLR, d-NLR, MLR, and SIRI in COVID-19 Mortality [PDF]

Diagnostics, 2022
(1) Background: Since its discovery, COVID-19 has caused more than 256 million cases, with a cumulative death toll of more than 5.1 million, worldwide. Early identification of patients at high risk of mortality is of great importance in saving the lives of COVID-19 patients.

REAL-TIME UAV BASED GEOSPATIAL VIDEO INTEGRATED INTO THE FIRE BRIGADES CRISIS MANAGEMENT GIS SYSTEM [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012
During a fire incident live airborne video offers the fire brigade an additional means of information. Essential for the effective usage of the daylight and infra red video data from the UAS is that the information is fully integrated into the crisis ...
