Structural basis of coiled-coil domain-mediated inhibition of A. baumannii AbTir NAD+ nucleosidase activity

TIR (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor) domains are central components of innate immunity and cell-death pathways across diverse forms of life. In bacteria, TIR domain-containing proteins participate in diverse antiphage defence systems, several of which rely on NADase activity carried out by TIR domains. This nucleosidase a...
