description: <b>Abstract</b><br>Cluster of Differentiation 1 (CD1) proteins are widely expressed throughout jawed vertebrates and present lipid antigens to specific CD1-restricted T lymphocytes. CD1 molecules play an important role in immune defense with the presence or absence of particular CD1 proteins frequently associated with the functional characteristics of the immune system. Here, we demonstrate the evolution of CD1 proteins in the Rodentia family and the diversity among their members. Based on the analysis of CD1 protein-coding regions in rodent genomes and reconstruct protein structures by AlphaFold we have demonstrated the absence of functional structure of CD1d and CD1e proteins in <i>Heterocephalus glaber</i> and probably dysfunctional CD1b due to presence of an unstructured region. Additionally, we discuss in detail the impact of CD1d loss on the CD1d/Natural killer T (NKT) cells axis in the naked mole rat and its potential effect on the function of immune system.<br><br><b>Data description</b><br>Suppl. 1 contains:(1) The query sequences and query database (ancprots.fa and ancprots.dmnd files)<br>(2) Search results obtained by diamond on dynamically downloaded fastq files (*.m8 files)<br>(3) The NCBI SRA acession lists (*.txt files)<br>(4) The Perl scripts for sequence retrieval and data parsing (intermediate data removed to save disk resources)Suppl. 2 contains:<br>(1) The query sequences (ancprots.fa file)(2) The Perl script that summarizes data from *.m8 files (see Suppl. 1)<br>(3) The output generated by the script (see (2)): *.txt fileSuppl. 3 contains:<br>(1) The pipeline consists of 4 Perl scripts for dumping and selecting NCBI SRA reads that have similarity with query sequences.
