Dynamic disequilibrium-based pathogenicity model in mutated pyrin’s B30.2 domain—Casp1/p20 complex
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Background The B30.2 variants lead to most relevant severity forms of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) manifestations. The B30.2 domain plays a key role in protein-protein interaction (PPI) of pyrin with other apoptosis proteins and in regulation the ...

The NLRP3 and Pyrin Inflammasomes: Implications in the Pathophysiology of Autoinflammatory Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that critically control different aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. Among them we could highlight the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that induce and maintain the inflammatory response.

The inflammasome pyrin contributes to pertussis toxin-induced IL-1β synthesis, neutrophil intravascular crawling and autoimmune encephalomyelitis. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Microbial agents can aggravate inflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). An example is pertussis toxin (PTX), a bacterial virulence factor commonly used as an adjuvant to

Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 Mediates β‐hydroxybutyrate's Antiseizure Effect in Mice
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.A Objective The ketogenic diet, a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate regimen, is often used to treat drug‐resistant seizures and is being studied for Alzheimer's disease and other neuropsychiatric disorders. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. β‐hydroxybutyrate, a primary circulating ketone body produced by the ketogenic diet, may mediate its ...

The NLRP12 Pyrin Domain: Structure, Dynamics, and Functional Insights [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2011 The initial line of defense against infection is sustained by the innate immune system. Together, membrane-bound Toll-like receptors and cytosolic nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat-containing receptors (NLR) play key roles in the innate immune response by detecting bacterial and viral invaders as well as endogenous stress signals.

The Role of miRNAs in Chicken Immune Regulation and Prospects for Disease‐Resistant Breeding
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.A schematic workflow illustrating the screening of disease‐resistant miRNAs and the generation of miRNA‐based disease‐resistant chickens via PGC‐mediated germline genome editing. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as pivotal regulators of the immune system, playing a decisive role in shaping disease resistance in chicken.
