Bacterial NLR-related proteins protect against phage

2022-07-20

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria use a wide range of immune systems to counter phage infection. A subset of these genes share homology with components of eukaryotic immune systems, suggesting that eukaryotes horizontally acquired certain innate immune genes from bacteria. Here we show that proteins containing a NACHT module, the central feature of the animal nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing gene family (NLRs),...
