Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1 (NOD1) is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor that recognizes γ-d-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP), a component of bacterial peptidoglycan. NOD1 is thought to be involved in the immune homeostasis mediated by intestinal microbiota as well as the host defense against infection. In this study, we identified 12 synonymous and nine nonsynonymous single...
