A human homolog of SIR2 antiphage proteins mediates immunity via the TLR pathway
2024-09-21
Abstract excerpt
The full extent of immune system conservation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is unknown. However, recent research supports that a subset of bacterial antiphage proteins is conserved in eukaryotes and likely gave rise to key actors of mammalian immunity. Here, we show that the SIR2 protein domain, present in bacterial antiphage systems, plays a role in eukaryotic innate immunity. Through phylogenetic analysis,...
