Signal inhibitory receptor on leukocytes‐1 recognizes bacterial and endogenous amphipathic α‐helical peptides
17 Sept 2021
Abstract excerpt
Signal inhibitory receptor on leukocytes-1 (SIRL-1) is a negative regulator of myeloid cell function and dampens antimicrobial responses. We here show that different species of the genus Staphylococcus secrete SIRL-1-engaging factors. By screening a library of single-gene transposon mutants in Staphylococcus aureus, we identified these factors as phenol-soluble modulins (PSMs). PSMs are amphipathic α-helical...
