Identification and characterisation of bacterial TIR domains, with particular focus on Yersinia pestis
2011-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The Toll/IL-l Receptor (TIR) domain is an essential signalling module in eukaryotic innate immune signalling pathways. Homotypic interaction between TIR domains allows the formation of a signalling platform in which molecules are able to interact and activate each other to initiate an immune signalling cascade. Proteins containing TIR domains have also been discovered in bacteria. Studies have subsequently shown t...
