AIRE's CARD revealed, a new structure for central tolerance provokes transcriptional plasticity.
The homodimerization domain in the N-terminal part of AIRE contains a caspase recruitment domain. Disease-causing AIRE mutation is located here. Combined homology modeling and in vitro data now show how these APECED mutations influence AIRE function. AIRE

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 and NALP5, a parathyroid autoantigen
The paper identifies NALP5 as a novel autoantigen in APS I assosiated with hypoparathyroidism and also ovarian failure. NALP5 is expression is mainly restricted to the parathyroid cheif cells and ovaries. Its expression in thymus is regulated by Aire
