Domain Exchange between Human Toll-like Receptors 1 and 6 Reveals a Region Required for Lipopeptide Discrimination
29 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Among the 10 human Toll-like receptors (TLRs), TLR2 appears to be unique in its requirement for cooperation with other TLRs, namely TLR1 and TLR6, to mediate cell signaling. Through reconstitution experiments, we have defined more precisely the function of these human TLRs. Human colonic epithelial cells cotransfected with TLR1 and -2 preferentially respond to a synthetic tripalmitoylated bacterial lipopeptide...
