TeTIR domains define a new class of animal TIR-like NADase effectors in STAND proteins

TIR domains are found in diverse immune signaling proteins and, in several systems, function as NAD+-cleaving enzymes causing or signaling cell death. In plants, TIR domains occur as effector domains in TNL immune receptors, where they are coupled to a central STAND ATPase and a C-terminal repeat domain. Here, we ident...
