Abstract excerpt
Mutated variants of NOD2, a cytosolic Toll-like receptor (TLR) that recognizes bacterial peptidoglycan, are responsible for increased susceptibility to Crohn's disease (CD). TLRs and their related plant counterparts, the disease-resistance R proteins, undergo alternative splicing as a means of controlling activity. Here we report that regions of NOD2 RNA transcripts that encode the N-terminal and leucine-rich...
