Pattern Recognition Receptors and the Host Cell Death Molecular Machinery
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are proteins capable of recognizing molecules frequently found in pathogens (the so-called Pathogen-Associated Molecular Patterns—PAMPs), or molecules released by damaged cells (the Damage-Associated Molecular ...

Tongue sole creatine kinases function as DAMP and activate antimicrobial immunity via TLR2
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that regulates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism to maintain energy homeostasis. Although CK has been reported to be involved in pathogen infection, the immune function of CK remains elusive.

Life Science Alliance, 2020 This study highlights that DSF, the quorum sensing signal produced by bacterial phytopathogens, is able to directly modulate plant plasma membrane dynamics by interfering with host lipid profile and thereby, suppress plant immunity responses.

An endogenous danger detection system in "Arabidopsis thaliana": the AtPep peptides and their receptors [PDF]
, 2014 Plants use a plethora of sophisticated detection systems to recognize a variety of attackers and to subsequently initiate defense responses. A well-known paradigm in this context is the perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by ...

Platelet Inflammatory Response to Stress
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Blood platelets play a central hemostatic role, (i) as they repair vascular epithelial damage, and (ii) they play immune defense roles, as they have the capacity to produce and secrete various cytokines, chemokines, and related products.

The rOX‐stars of inflammation: links between the inflammasome and mitochondrial meltdown
Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2020 The nod‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome drives inflammation in response to mitochondrial dysfunction. As metabolic powerhouses with prokaryotic ancestry, mitochondria are a cache for danger‐associated molecular patterns and pathogen ...

The grateful dead: damage-associated molecular pattern molecules and reduction/oxidation regulate immunity [PDF]
, 2007 The response to pathogens and damage in plants and animals involves a series of carefully orchestrated, highly evolved, molecular mechanisms resulting in pathogen resistance and wound healing.

An RxLR effector from phytophthora infestans prevents re-localisation of two plant NAC transcription factors from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus [PDF]
, 2013 The plant immune system is activated following the perception of exposed, essential and invariant microbial molecules that are recognised as non-self. A major component of plant immunity is the transcriptional induction of genes involved in a wide array ...
