Abstract
An understudied subset of NOD-like receptors are involved in the reproductive system, and their dysfunction can cause infertility. The recently obtained structures of the core subcortical maternal complex assembled around one of them, NLRP5, provide important insight into this building block of early embryo cytoplasmic lattices.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
