The Caspase Recruitment Domain (CARD) from the innate immune receptor NOD1 was crystallized with Ubiquitin (Ub). NOD1 CARD was present as a helix-swapped homodimer similar to other structures of NOD1 CARD, and Ub monomers formed a homodimer similar in conformation to Lys48-linked di-Ub. The interaction between NOD1 CARD and Ub in the crystal was mediated by novel binding sites on each molecule. Comparisons of these sites to previously identified interaction surfaces on both molecules were made along with discussion of their potential functional significance.

Background: Artemisinin (ART) is a frontline drug for the treatment of malaria; however, the emergence of ART-resistant Plasmodium strains necessitates increasing ART sensitivity. Given that taurine (TAU) has been shown to have immunomodulatory activity, we investigated the effects of TAU as an adjunct therapy to ART in mice infected with Plasmodium berghei.
Methods: Mice infected with P.

NOD1, plays a pivotal role in immune responses against bacterial as well as viral invasions. While the downstream signaling pathway of NOD1 is well understood in mammals, its characterization in lower vertebrates remains elusive. In present study, an effort was made to identify and characterize downstream signaling cascade of NOD1 in response to LPS, a potential ligand of NOD1 in teleosts, in spotted snakehead.

Fish rely on innate immune system for immunity, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) are a vital group of receptor for recognition. In the present study, NOD1 gene was cloned and characterized from golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus, a commercially important aquaculture fish species. The ORF of T.

Article Synopsis
- * Molecular dynamics simulations reveal structural changes in the D54K mutant, including shifts from coils to helices and distortions in C-terminal helices, indicating potential misfolding.
- * The study identifies key residues related to structural stability and proposes that this mutation could impair essential CARD-CARD interactions, providing insights for future immunotherapy research.

As an adaptor protein functions essentially in the activation of NF-κΒ and MAPK signaling pathways mediated by NOD1 and NOD2, RIP2 plays important roles in the host innate immune responses. In the present study, the RIP2 ortholog termed Lc-RIP2 was identified and characterized in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). It was revealed that Lc-RIP2 is consisted of an open reading frame (ORF) of 1695 bp, encoding a protein of 564 aa, with an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD).
