Abstract excerpt
Similar to Ipaf and caspase-1, the Nod-like receptor protein Naip5 restricts intracellular proliferation of Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of a severe form of pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease. Thus, Naip5 has been suggested to regulate Legionella replication inside macrophages through the activation of caspase-1. In this study, we show that cytosolic delivery of recombinant flagellin...
