Lecture 26: TLRs Flashcards
What is TL4 ?
LPS sensor
What is the C3H/HeJ mouse ?
Mutation inTIR domain of TLR4 that converts a conserved proline resiue to a histidine mice resistant to LPS lethality
What is the TIR domain made up of ?
- 3 boxes of conserved residues set in core sequence of 130-160 aa with intervening variable residues
What is the structure of TIR domain ?
Central 5-stranded parallel B-sheet surrounded by 5-helices on each side
What is the only TLR that heterodimerises ?
TLR2
What can TLR2 heterodimerise with ?
TLR1 and TLR6
What does TLR1 and TLR2 sense ?
Triacyl lipopeptides
What does TLR2 and TLR6 sense ?
Diaceylated lipopeptides
What does TLR5 sense ?
Flagellin
What does TLR4 sense ?
LPS
What does TLR3 sense ?
Double stranded RNA
What does TLR7 sense ?
Single stranded RNA
What does TLR8 sense ?
Single stranded RNA
What does TLR9 sense ?
CpG DNA
How does sensing of TLRs occur ?
Binding of ligand to ligand recognition receptor drivers dimerisation of partner TLRs
What is the response of TLR signalling ?
Dimerisation of receptors brings TIR domains together. Adapter proteins are then recruited
What does MyD88 do ?
Initiates signalling to NFkappaB
What does TRIF do ?
Initiates signalling to IRFs
What is the bridge MyD88 uses ?
Mal bridge
What is the bridge TRIF uses ?
TRAM
What is the accessory protein of TLR4 ?
MD2
What does the MD2-LPS interaction trigger ?
TLR4 homodimers
How does TLR4 initiate TIR signalling ?
Intracellularly
In TLR2 what does direct interactions with lipopeptide ligand drive ?
Heterodimerisation
