Thioester-containing proteins participate in the antibacterial immune defense of Drosophila against the pathogen Photorhabdus

Description:

Thioester-containing proteins (TEPs) are present in many animal species ranging from deuterostomes to protostomes, which indicates their evolutionary importance in immune function. Phylogenetically, insect TEPs share sequence similarity with mammalian alpha-2 macroglobulins. Here I characterized...
