Chicken TLR structures. SMART structure of chicken TLRs. Structures joined by { shows the two equally likely structures of TLR21. Dark blue rectangles represent trans-membrane regions while green bands indicate LRRs involved in PAMP recognition (LRR-TYP represents typical LRRs, whereas LRR represents LRR outliers). Light blue rectangles and circles represent L terminal and C terminal LRRs respectively, thin red bars represent signal peptides and thin pink bars segments of low compositional complexity. Motifs with the prefix PFAM represent those that are recognised by the PFAM database.
