Nod2 is a general sensor of peptidoglycan through muramyl dipeptide (MDP) detection.

TL;DR: It is shown here that Nod2 is a general sensor of peptidoglycan through the recognition of muramyl dipeptide (MDP), the minimal bioactive peptIDoglycan motif common to all bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nod1 Detects a Unique Muropeptide from Gram-Negative Bacterial Peptidoglycan

TL;DR: It is shown that human Nod1 specifically detects a unique diaminopimelate-containing N-acetylglucosamine–N-acetelmuramic acid tripeptide motif found in Gram-negative bacterial peptidoglycan, resulting in activation of the transcription factor NF-κB pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nod-like proteins in immunity, inflammation and disease.

TL;DR: An additional key function of Nod-like receptors is in inflammatory conditions, which has been emphasized by the identification of several different mutations in the genes encoding Nod1, Nod2 and NALP3 that are associated with susceptibility to inflammatory disorders.
