The resonance assignments of the human NLRP7 PYD domain have been determined based on triple-resonance experiments using uniformly [(13)C,(15)N]-labeled protein. This assignment is the first step towards the 3D structure determination of the NLRP7 PYD domain.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing receptors or NOD-like receptors (NLRs) are cytosolic pattern recognition receptors, which sense conserved microbial patterns and host-derived danger signals to elicit innate immune responses. The activation of several prototypic NLRs, including NLR and pyrin domain (PYD) containing (NLRP) 1, NLRP3 and NLR and caspase recruitment domain (CARD) containing (NLRC) 4, results in the assembly of inflammasomes, which are large, cytoplasmic multiprotein signalling platforms responsible for the maturation and release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, and for the induction of a specialized form of inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis. However, the function of other members of the NLR family, including NLRP7, are less well understood.

Background: NOD-like receptors affect multiple stages of cancer progression in many malignancies. NACHT, LRR, and PYD domain-containing protein 7 (NLRP7) is a member of the NOD-like receptor family, although its role in tumorigenesis remains unclear. By analyzing clinical samples, we found that NLRP7 protein levels were upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC).

NLRP (NACHT, LRR and PYD domain-containing proteins) family plays pivotal roles in mammalian reproduction. Mutation of NLRP7 is often associated with human recurrent hydatidiform moles. Few studies regarding the functions of NLRP7 have been performed in other mammalian species rather than humans.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors with a pyrin domain (PYD), NLRPs, are pattern recognition receptors, well recognized for their important roles in innate immunity and apoptosis. However, several NLRPs have received attention for their new, specialized roles as maternally contributed genes important in reproduction and embryo development. Several NLRPs have been shown to be specifically expressed in oocytes and preimplantation embryos.

Hydatidiform Mole (HM) is the most common form of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD), defined by hyper-proliferation of trophoblastic cells. HM is typified as abnormal proliferation of extraembryonic trophoblastic (placental) tissues and failure of embryonic tissues development and is the only GTD with Mendelian inheritance, which can reoccur in different pregnancies. Moles are categorized into Complete Hydatidiform Moles (CHM) or Partial Hydatidiform Moles (PHM) and a rare familial trait, which forms a CHM and despite having androgenetic pattern, shows normal biparental inheritance, conceived from one sperm and egg.
