TRAF6 deficiency results in osteopetrosis and defective interleukin-1, CD40, and LPS signaling

TL;DR: It is reported that mice deficient in TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) are osteopetrotic with defects in bone remodeling and tooth eruption due to impaired osteoclast function, and it is demonstrated that TRAF6 is crucial not only in IL-1 and CD40 signaling but also, surprisingly, in LPS signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integral role of IRF-5 in the gene induction programme activated by Toll-like receptors

TL;DR: The transcription factor IRF-5 is identified as a new, principal downstream regulator of the TLR–MyD88 signalling pathway and a potential target of therapeutic intervention to control harmful immune responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Essential contribution of caspase 3/CPP32 to apoptosis and its associated nuclear changes

TL;DR: Examination of the role of CPP32 in apoptosis using mice, embryonic stem cells, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts deficient for the caspase indicates that CPP 32 is an essential component in apoptotic events that is remarkably system- and stimulus-dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severe impairment of interleukin-1 and Toll-like receptor signalling in mice lacking IRAK-4

TL;DR: It is shown by gene-targeting that IRAK-4, an IRAK molecule closely related to the Drosophila Pelle protein, is indispensable for the responses of animals and cultured cells to IL-1 and ligands that stimulate various TLRs.
