Abstract excerpt
Toll like receptors (TLRs) share a conserved structure comprising the N-terminal ectodomain, a transmembrane segment and a C-terminal cytoplasmic Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain. Proper assembly of the TIR domain is crucial for signal transduction; however, the contribution of individual motifs within the TIR domain to TLR trafficking and signaling remains unclear. We targeted a highly conserved tyrosine (Y870)...
