Abstract
The NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is a multidomain protein that plays a key role in innate immune response. Structures of NLRP3 in different conformational states and bound to cognate partners are available. In this chapter we present an approach to model the oligomeric structure of NLRP3 by homology modeling using multiple templates, symmetry, and refinement. The overall process presented here represents advanced exercise in structural modeling that provides unique insights into the biological role and activation of NLRP3 oligomer. Finally, the same approach can be easily adapted to the rest of the members of the NLRP family.
