Numerous studies of the mammalian immune system have begun to uncover profound
interrelationships, as well as fundamental differences, between the adaptive and innate …

Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the
structure, function, and motion of proteins for students, faculty, and researchers at all levels …

Proteins are composed of evolutionary units called domains; the majority of proteins consist
of at least two domains. These domains and nature of their interactions determine the …

Since an immunoreceptor tyrosine‐based inhibition motif (ITIM) was first identified in the
intracytoplasmic domain of FcγRIIB, ITIMs have been found in a large number of inhibitory …

Activation of the insect innate immune system is dependent on a limited number of pattern
recognition receptors (PRRs) capable of interacting with pathogen-associated molecular …

Junctional adhesion molecules (JAM)-A,-B and-C are cell-cell adhesion molecules of the
immunoglobulin superfamily which are expressed by a variety of tissues, both during …

Extracellular domains of cell surface receptors and ligands mediate cell-cell communication,
adhesion, and initiation of signaling events, but most existing protein-protein" interactome" …

▪ Abstract We can now assign about two thirds of the sequences from completed genomes to
as few as 1400 domain families for which structures are known and thus more ancient …

The association between fitness-related phenotypic traits and an environmental gradient
offers one of the best opportunities to study the interplay between natural selection and …
