Structure and evolutionary history of a large family of NLR proteins in the zebrafish

2015-09-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Animals and plants have evolved a range of mechanisms for recognizing noxious substances and organisms. A particular challenge, most successfully met by the adaptive immune system in vertebrates, is the specific recognition of potential pathogens, which themselves evolve to escape recognition. A variety of genomic and evolutionary mechanisms shape large families of proteins dedicated to detectin...
