Effects of Pathological Mutations on the Prion-Like Polymerisation of MyD88
2018-06-20
Abstract excerpt
A novel concept has emerged whereby the higher-order self-assembly of proteins provides a simple and robust mechanism for signal amplification. This appears to be a universal signalling mechanism within the innate immune system, where the recognition of pathogens or danger-associated molecular patterns need to trigger a strong, binary response within cells. Previously, multiple structural studies have been limited...
