Abstract excerpt
AIM2 and IFI16 are the most studied members of AIM2-like receptors (ALRs) in humans and share a common N-Terminal PYD domain and C-terminal HIN domain. The HIN domain binds to dsDNA in response to the invasion of bacterial and viral DNA, and the PYD domain directs apoptosis-associated speck-like protein via protein-protein interactions. Hence, activation of AIM2 and IFI16 is crucial for protection against...
