Comment: IDR-1 is an innate defense regulator (IDR) peptide. It is effective against bacterial infections in vivo, acting by modulating the innate host immune response, rather than by having direct antibacterial activity [1]. IDR-1 binds to the ZZ-type zinc finger domain of sequestosome 1 (p62) [2].
