چکیده

The Toll-interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adapter Mal (MyD88 adapter-like protein) is involved in Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 and TLR4 signal transduction. However, no studies have yet identified a function for Mal distinct from the related adapter MyD88. In this study, we have identified a putative TRAF6 interaction site in Mal but not in MyD88 and we demonstrate that Mal can be co-immunoprecipitated with TRAF6. Overexpression of MalE190A, which contains a mutation within the TRAF6-binding motif, failed to induce the expression of an NF-kappaB-dependent reporter gene, p65-mediated transactivation of gene expression, or activation of Jun N-terminal kinase or p42/p44 MAP kinase, which are induced with wild type Mal. MalE190A inhibited TLR2- and TLR4-mediated activation of NF-kappaB. These results identify a specific role for Mal in TLR-mediated signaling in regulating NF-kappaB-dependent gene transcription via its interaction with TRAF6.

Insights from vaccinia virus into Toll-like receptor signalling proteins and their regulation by ubiquitin: role of IRAK-2.

TLRs (Toll-like receptors) are an important class of pathogen-sensing proteins, which signal the presence of a pathogen by activating transcription factors, such as NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappaB). The TLR pathway to NF-kappaB activation involves multiple phosphorylation and ubiquitination events. Notably, TRAF-6 [TNF (tumour necrosis factor)-receptor-associated factor-6] Lys(63) polyubiquiti...

Measles virus P protein suppresses Toll-like receptor signal through up-regulation of ubiquitin-modifying enzyme A20.

We recently reported that the activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 was suppressed in monocytes infected with measles virus, but not in infected epithelial cells. This cell-type-specific suppression of the inflammatory response represents a potential for measles virus to evade host immune system. In the current study, we examined the suppression mechanism of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced, namely ...

Effects of ginsenoside Rg1 on the expression of toll-like receptor 3, 4 and their signalling transduction factors in the NG108-15 murine neuroglial cell line.

As one of the most important components of Panax ginseng, ginsenoside Rg1 has certain anti-aging effects, improving the activity of learning and memory. Studies have showed that ginsenoside Rg1 improves the memory impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, the effects of ginsenoside Rg1 were investigated through the activity of toll-like receptor (TLR) 3, TLR4 and their...

Ubiquitination of ECSIT is crucial for the activation of p65/p50 NF-κBs in Toll-like receptor 4 signaling

Recent evidence shows that evolutionarily conserved signaling intermediate in Toll pathways (ECSIT) interacts with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), is ubiquitinated, and contributes to bactericidal activity during Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. Here we report a new regulatory role for ECSIT in TLR4 signaling. On TLR4 stimulation, endogenous ECSIT formed a molecul...

Differential expression of Toll-like receptors in murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro on treatment with cisplatin.

In the present study, we have investigated the differential expression of Toll-like receptors [(TLRs) 1-9] in murine peritoneal macrophages in vitro, on treatment with cis-diaminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin). It is demonstrated that cisplatin induces the expression of TLRs and is a potent activator of Toll-signaling pathway. The enhanced expression of TLR2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8 and -9 is...
