Genetic mechanisms of bacteria recognition by cattle innate immunity receptors

Abstract

The research identified a list of molecules involved in the mechanisms of innate immunity in cattle and the recognition of bacterial pathogens. The current list of molecular receptors has expanded to include TLR receptors and the recently defined NOD-like receptors (NLRs): NOD, NALP, NAIP, and IPAF. TLR molecules are designed to transmit a ligand-binding signal on the cell surface or endosome and activate specific molecules of bacterial origin in the cytosol, such as peptidoglycans, RNA, toxins and flagellins. The obtained data on the molecular structure of TLR and NLR receptors indicate their anti-inflammatory role, mediated by signals through nuclear transcription factor κB and activation of caspase-1 in the inflammasome. It has been shown that the role of immunosensors of extracellular and intracellular perception of bacteria in regulating inflammation is synergistic. Mutations in TLR and NOD receptors are associated with autoimmune inflammatory syndromes. This review examines the body's ways of recognising intracellular pathogens, describes the problem of their mimicry from the animal immune system, and the molecular mechanisms of such interactions. Variants of molecular interactions of innate immune receptors with peptidoglycans, bacterial DNA and toxins, cell wall compartments, and bacterial flagellin receptors are also considered. This study aimed to analyse the current understanding of the genetic and molecular structure of the immune response to bacterial environmental factors and the mechanisms and characteristics of the reaction of the animal body.
