“…and are homologous to mammals [ [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] ]. The NOD proteins in fish are comparatively larger than TLRs and composed of ~940 and ~980 amino acids (aa) in NOD1 and NOD2, respectively [ 54 , 58 , 60 , [64] , [65] , [66] ]. In zebrafish, the NOD1 and NOD2 proteins contain one (94 aa) and two CARD domains (96 and 90 aa) at the N-terminus that mediate homotypic CARD-CARD interactions with downstream signaling molecules ( Fig.…”
