Dynamic evolution of bacterial ligand recognition by formyl peptide receptors

2021-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The detection of invasive pathogens is critical for host immune defense. Cell surface receptors play a key role in the recognition of diverse microbe-associated molecules, triggering leukocyte recruitment, phagocytosis, release of antimicrobial factors, and cytokine production. The intense selective forces acting on innate immune receptor genes has led to their rapid diversification across plant...
