Abstract

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns are recognized by dedicated receptors in eukaryotes to trigger an immune response. A recent study by Gao, Wilkinson, Strecker, et al. now extends this paradigm to bacteria, demonstrating that they use similar receptors to detect conserved phage proteins and activate analogous immunity against these viral invaders.
