Interactive sites in the MyD88 Toll/interleukin (IL) 1 receptor domain responsible for coupling to the IL1beta signaling pathway.
Journal of Biological Chemistry 2005 July 16
Myeloid differentiation factor MyD88 is the essential adaptor protein that integrates and transduces intracellular signals generated by multiple Toll-like receptors including receptor complex for interleukin (IL) 1beta, a key inflammatory cytokine. IL1beta receptor complex interacts with MyD88 via the Toll/IL1 receptor (TIR) domain. Here we report structure-function studies that help define the MyD88 TIR domain binding sites involved in IL1beta-induced protein-protein interactions. The MyD88 TIR domain, employed as a dominant negative inhibitor of IL1beta signaling to screen MyD88 TIR mutants, lost its suppressing activity upon truncation of its Box 3. Accordingly, mutations of Box 3 residues 285-286 reversed the dominant negative effect of the MyD88 TIR domain on IL1beta-induced and NFkappaB-dependent reporter gene activity and IL6 production. Moreover, mutations of residues 171 in helix alphaA, 195-197 in Box 2, and 275 in betaE-strand had similar functional effects. Strikingly, only mutations of residues 195-197 eliminated the TIR-TIR interaction of MyD88 and IL1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAcP), whereas substitution of neighboring canonical Pro200 by His was without effect. Mutations in Box 2 and 3 prevented homotypic MyD88 oligomerization via TIR domain. Based on this structure-function analysis, a three-dimensional docking model of TIR-TIR interaction between MyD88 and IL1RAcP was developed.
