Holding the inflammatory system in check: NLRs keep it cool.

TLDR
This report aims to review the literature regarding several members of the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor (NLR) family of pattern recognition sensors/receptors that serve as checkpoints for inflammation.
Abstract
Inflammation is a double-edged sword. While short-lived, acute inflammation is essential for the repair and resolution of infection and damage, uncontrolled and unresolved chronic inflammation is central to several diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, allergy, metabolic disease, and cardiovascular disease. This report aims to review the literature regarding several members of the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor (NLR) family of pattern recognition sensors/receptors that serve as checkpoints for inflammation. Understanding the negative regulation of inflammation is highly relevant to the development of therapeutics for inflammatory as well as infectious diseases.

Host inflammatory responses to intracellular invaders: Review study

TL;DR: Inflammasome components assemble and oligomerizes leading to the auto cleavage of the pro-caspase-1 to its active form and controls the establishment of the pathogen by mounting inflammatory response and activation of the pyroptotic cell death.

S1PR1 expression correlates with inflammatory responses to Newcastle disease virus infection

TL;DR: A direct correlation between chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cellular inflammatory responses and S1PR1 expression is observed and highlights the important role of S1 PR1 in inflammatory responses in NDV infection.

Cutting Edge: CATERPILLER: A Large Family of Mammalian Genes Containing CARD, Pyrin, Nucleotide-Binding, and Leucine-Rich Repeat Domains

TL;DR: Except for CIITA, all the predicted NBD/LRR proteins are likely ATP-binding proteins, and the genomic organization demonstrates a high degree of conservation of the NBD- and LRR-encoding exons.

Functional screening of five PYPAF family members identifies PYPAF5 as a novel regulator of NF-κB and caspase-1

TL;DR: Findings suggest that PYPAF5 functions in immune cells to coordinate the transduction of pro‐inflammatory signals to the activation of NF‐κB and pro‐caspase‐1.

NLRX1 negatively regulates TLR-induced NF-κB signaling by targeting TRAF6 and IKK

TL;DR: A previously unrecognized role for NLRX1 is identified in the negative regulation of TLR-induced NF-κB activation by dynamically interacting with TRAF6 and the IKK complex.
