Insights from vaccinia virus into Toll-like receptor signalling proteins and their regulation by ubiquitin: role of IRAK-2.
نویسنده
چکیده
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) polyubiquitination is a critical step in the formation of signalling complexes, which turn on NF-kappaB. Here, the relative role of different IRAKs [IL-1 (interleukin 1)-receptor-associated kinases] in NF-kappaB activation is discussed. Further, I demonstrate how understanding one molecular mechanism whereby vaccinia virus inhibits NF-kappaB activation has led to a revealing of a key role for IRAK-2 in TRAF-6-mediated NF-kappaB activation.

IRAK-M mediates Toll-like receptor/IL-1R-induced NFκB activation and cytokine production.
Toll-like receptors transduce their signals through the adaptor molecule MyD88 and members of the IL-1R-associated kinase family (IRAK-1, 2, M and 4). IRAK-1 and IRAK-2, known to form Myddosomes with MyD88-IRAK-4, mediate TLR7-induced TAK1-dependent NFκB activation. IRAK-M was previously known to function as a negative regulator that prevents the dissociation of IRAKs from MyD88, thereby inhibi...
متن کاملPellino Proteins: Novel Players in TLR and IL-1R Signalling
Members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) family play important roles in immunity and inflammation. They initiate common intracellular signalling cascades leading to the activation of nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) and other transcription factors that stimulate the expression of a variety of genes that shape an appropriate immune response. TLR/IL-1R signalling involv...
متن کاملVaccinia virus protein A46R targets multiple Toll-like–interleukin-1 receptor adaptors and contributes to virulence
Viral immune evasion strategies target key aspects of the host antiviral response. Recently, it has been recognized that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a role in innate defense against viruses. Here, we define the function of the vaccinia virus (VV) protein A46R and show it inhibits intracellular signalling by a range of TLRs. TLR signalling is triggered by homotypic interactions between the T...
متن کاملP-184: The Role of Cell Surface Toll Like Receptors in Endometriosis
Background: Toll like receptors (TLRs) are a major family of innate immune systems which recognize specific pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPS)in bacterial, fungi, virus and parasites. Human TLRs comprise a large family of 10 different type proteins that are expressed on various immune cells. Among these receptors, TLR1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10 were expressed on the cell surface. TLR2 form...
متن کاملA poxviral homolog of the Pellino protein inhibits Toll and Toll-like receptor signalling.
Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling pathways constitute an evolutionarily conserved component of the host immune response to pathogenic infection. Here, we describe the ability of a virally encoded form of the Pellino protein to inhibit Tolland TLR-mediated activation of downstream Rel family transcription factors. In addition to inhibiting drosomycin promoter activation by Spätzle in Drosophil...
