Proteins with Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains are widely distributed in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, serving as essential components of immune signaling. Although monocots lack the major TIR-nucleotide-binding (NB)-leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-type (TNL) immune receptors, they possess a small number of TIR-only proteins, the function of which remains largely unknown. In the monocot maize (Zea mays), there are three conserved TIR-only genes in the reference genome, namely ZmTIR1 to ZmTIR3.

Plant Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains function as NADases and ribosyl-transferases generating second messengers that trigger hypersensitive responses. TIR-X (TX) proteins contain a TIR domain with or without various C-terminal domains and lack the canonical nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat domain. In a previous study, we identified an Arabidopsis thaliana activation-tagging line with severe growth defects caused by the overexpression of the AtTX12 gene.

While there is growing evidence highlighting the crucial role of the BM microenvironment (BMME) in MDS, the specific influence of inflammation on BMME changes, as well as the potential benefits of targeting cytokines therapeutically, remain to be elucidated. We previously found interleukin-1 (IL-1) to be a driver of aging phenotypes of BMME and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs).

Erdheim-Chester Disease is a rare systemic xanthogranulomatous infiltrating disease, characterized by lipid-laden histiocytes accumulating in various organs and almost always in bones. Etiology of the disease is still unknown. It may involve various organs and systems, such as musculoskeletal, cardiac, pulmonary, renal, gastrointestinal and central nervous system (CNS) as well as the skin.

Within the course of evolution, TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains acquired a myriad of functional specificities. This has significantly added to their well-established roles in innate immune signaling. These additional functions include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)(P) hydrolase, RNA/DNA nuclease (in plants), CN (cyclic nucleotide) cyclase, and base exchanger activities.
