Neurons are postmitotic, nonregenerative cells that have evolved fine-tuned immunological responses to maintain life-long cellular integrity, including resistance common programmed cell death pathways such as necroptosis. We previously demonstrated a necroptosis-independent role for the key necroptotic kinase RIPK3 in host defense against neurotropic flavivirus infection. Here, we show activation had distinct outcomes primary cortical neurons when compared with mouse embryonic fibroblasts...

Abstract Neurons are post-mitotic, non-regenerative cells that have evolved fine-tuned immunological responses to maintain life-long cellular integrity; this includes resistance common programmed cell death (PCD) pathways, including apoptosis and necroptosis. We previously demonstrated a necroptosis-independent role for the key necroptotic kinase RIPK3 in host defense against neurotropic flavivirus infection. While work showed neuronal expression is essential chemokine production recruitment...

CD4 + T cells use cell receptor (TCR)–CD3 complexes, and CD4, to respond peptide antigens within MHCII molecules (pMHCII). We report here that, through ~435 million years of evolution in jawed vertebrates, purifying selection has shaped motifs the extracellular, transmembrane, intracellular domains eutherian that enhance pMHCII responses, covary with residues an motif inhibits responses. Importantly, while interactions Src kinase, Lck, are viewed as key our data indicate CD4–Lck derive their...

We report here that, through ∼435 million years of evolution in jawed vertebrates, purifying selection has shaped motifs the extracellular, transmembrane, intracellular domains eutherian that both enhance pMHCII responses are coevolving with residues an motif inhibits responses.
