Sequential Autophosphorylation Steps in the Interleukin-1 Receptor-associated Kinase-1 Regulate its Availability as an Adapter in Interleukin-1 Signaling

Correction for “ Interleukin 1 receptor - associated kinase 1 ( IRAK 1 )

MICROBIOLOGY Correction for “Interleukin 1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) mutation is a common, essential driver for Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus lymphoma,” by Dongmei Yang, Wuguo Chen, Jie Xiong, Carly J. Sherrod, David H. Henry, and Dirk P. Dittmer, which appeared in issue 44, November 4, 2014, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (111:E4762–E4768; first published October 23, 2014; 10.1073/ pnas.140...

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-M suppresses systemic lupus erythematosus.

OBJECTIVES Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-M suppresses Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated activation of innate immunity during infection. A similar role was hypothesised for IRAK-M in autoimmunity. METHODS Irak-m-deficient mice were crossed with autoimmune C57BL/6-lpr/lpr mice and detailed phenotype analysis was performed. RESULTS Irak-m deficiency converted the mild autoimm...

Inhibition of Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinases 1/4, Increases Gene Expression and Serum Level of Adiponectin in Mouse Model of Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance is a feature of most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Epidemiological evidence suggests a correlation between inflammation and insulin resistant states such as obesity, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinases (IRAK) play a central role in inflammatory responses by regulating the expression of various inflammatory gen...

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist.

IL-1ra is the first described naturally occurring receptor antagonist of any cytokine or hormone-like molecule. IL-1ra is a member of the IL-1 family by three criteria: amino acid sequence homology of 26 to 30% to IL-1 beta and 19% to IL-1 alpha; similarities in gene structure; and common gene localization to human chromosome 2q14. Two structural variants of IL-1ra exist: sIL-1ra, a secretory m...
