Q

what often causes the activation of transcription factors?

A

phosphorylation

20
Q

what do transcription factors do once they become activated?

A

move from cytoplasm to nucleus to activate genes

21
Q

what are 2 key adaptor proteins

A
  1. MyD88
  2. TRIF
22
Q

what are 3 key transcription factors?

A
  1. IRF3/7
  2. NF-kB
  3. AP-1
23
Q

what are the 8 general steps of signal transduction of TLRs?

A

  2. recruitment + activations of kinases and adaptors
  3. second messenger
  4. activation and nuclear translocation of transcription factors
  5. transcription factors bind specific gene to cause changes in gene expression

30
Q

what are the 5 steps of the cascade induced by activated tyrosine kinases? CLR

A

A

post translational modification

44
Q

what is another type of modification besides phosphorylation?

A
