Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response01:31

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

2.2K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

7.4K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Acute Inflammation I: Cellular Phase

45
The cellular phase of acute inflammation is a tightly orchestrated sequence of events that recruits leukocytes, primarily neutrophils, to sites of tissue injury or infection. Following the initial vascular changes, this phase ensures effective immune cell migration, activation, and function at the affected site to eliminate pathogens and initiate tissue repair.Leukocyte Recruitment CascadeLeukocyte recruitment happens in four steps: margination, adhesion, transmigration, and chemotaxis. Reduced...

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway01:17

The Extrinsic Apoptotic Pathway

6.1K
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated when extracellular death-inducing signals, such as specific cytokines, activate the death receptors expressed on the cell surface. The immune cells involved in this pathway are natural killer cells (NK cells) and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. NK cells are critical in innate immune response, while cytotoxic T-lymphocytes are associated with adaptive immune response. These cells recognize specific receptors expressed on the altered cells and activate...

Summary

Gain-of-function mutations in the NLRC4 gene are linked to autoinflammatory syndromes. These findings reveal the inflammasome

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • The NLRC4 inflammasome is crucial for inflammatory responses to microbial triggers.
  • Its specific involvement in human disease pathology was previously unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of the NLRC4 inflammasome in human autoinflammatory diseases.
  • To identify genetic underpinnings of these syndromes.

Main Methods:

  • Genetic analysis of families with distinct autoinflammatory syndromes.
  • Segregation analysis of mutations within the NLRC4 gene.

Main Results:

  • Two independent studies identified gain-of-function mutations in the NLRC4 gene.
  • These mutations were found to cosegregate with autoinflammatory conditions within affected families.
