Structural Complementarity of Toll/Interleukin-1 Receptor Domains in Toll-like Receptors and the Adaptors Mal and MyD88
1 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
The Toll/interleukin 1 receptor (TIR) domain is a region found in the cytoplasmic tails of members of the Toll-like receptor/interleukin-1 receptor superfamily. The domain is essential for signaling and is also found in the adaptor proteins Mal (MyD88 adaptor-like) and MyD88, which function to couple activation of the receptor to downstream signaling components. Experimental structures of two Toll/interleukin 1...
