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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like Receptors Induce a Phagocytic Gene Program through p38

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TLR ligands not only amplify the percentage of phagocytes uptaking Escherichia coli, but also increase the number of bacteria phagocytosed by individual macrophages, describing an evolutionarily conserved mechanism by which TLRs can specifically promote phagocyte clearance of bacteria during infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deficiency of T2K leads to apoptotic liver degeneration and impaired NF‐κB‐dependent gene transcription

TL;DR: A novel kinase (T2K), which associates with TRAF2 and exhibits kinase activity towards I‐κBα in vitro, is demonstrated to be critical in protecting embryonic liver from apoptosis and has a unique role in the activation of NF‐kkB‐directed transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

IRAK-4 as the central TIR signaling mediator in innate immunity

TL;DR: Surprisingly, gene targeting studies show that the newest IRAK protein, IRAK-4, has an essential role in mediating signals initiated by IL-1R and TLR engagement.
