Q

What do the members of the IL-1 receptor family (TLRs) share?

A

A conserved cytosolic sequence, called the Toll-like/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain

132
Q

What does the engagement of the IL-1R or TLRs result in?

A

Results in receptor dimerization and the recruitment of one or more of four known TIR domain-containing adaptors

133
Q

What do adaptors link TLRs/IL-1R to?

A

Different members of the IRAK (IL-1R-associated kinase) family

134
Q

What do IRAKs linked to TLRs/IL-1R in turn link adaptors to?

A

to TRAF6, which is an E3 ubiquitin ligase required for NF-kB activation

135
Q

What does IL-1R signaling include?

A

MAP kinase activation and the phosphorylation of IRF3 and IRF7, inducers of type I interferon transcription

136
Q

What does the binding of chemokine to its receptor induce?

A 
Many different cellular responses like:
Integrin upregulation and activation
Actin cytoskeleton reorganization
Firm adhesion
Cellular shape changes
Migration 
Chemotaxis
137
Q

What does the engagement of a GPCR by a chemoattractant results in what?

A

The activation of the associated G protein

138
Q

What does the G protein dissociate into?

A

The GTP-bound Gα-subunit and the Gβγ-complex

139
Q

In chemokine receptor signaling, what does the Gα-subunit inhibit?

A

Inhibits some adenylyl cyclase leading to a decrease of intracellular cAMP-levels and cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity

140
Q

In chemokine receptor signaling, what does the βγ-complex activate?

A

Activates Ras that induces the activation of phophatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3Kγ)
And phopholipase C (PLC)

141
Q

What does PLC do in chemokine receptor signaling?

A

Hydrolyzes phophatidylinositol-bisphophate to generate inositol trisphosphate (IP3).

142
Q

In chemokine receptor signaling, what does IP3 mobilize?

A

Mobilizes calcium from non-mitochondrial stores

143
Q

What does diacylglycerol (DAG) activate in the chemokine receptor signaling cascade?

A

Activates Ca2+-independent and Ca2+-dependent protein kinase C
