Brief description Molecular basis of nucleotide signalling by TIR domain containing proteins. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dependent signalling pathways play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases and bacterial defence systems, and are therefore potential targets for the development of new therapeutics and biotechnology tools. This project aims to increase our understanding of the biology of a novel class of enzymes involved in NAD+ signalling across the domains of life. The project is expected to unravel general principles of nucleotide-based signalling, and the expected outcomes will include new molecular mechanisms relevant to cell-death and pathogen defence in mammalian and bacterial systems, which should provide significant benefit for a range of applications in human biology and biotechnology.
