Abstract excerpt
Nod1 is an intracellular pattern recognition molecule activated following bacterial infection, which senses a specific muropeptide (l-Ala-d-Glu-meso-DAP (diaminopimelic acid); "Tri(DAP)") from peptidoglycan. Here we investigated the molecular basis of Tri(DAP) sensing by human (h) Nod1. Our results identified the domain responsible for Tri(DAP) detection in the center of the concave surface of hNod1 leucine-rich...
