Research Abstract |
(1)We elucidated the molecular mechanism for tethering p^<47> and p^<40> to cyt b558 or membrane on the structural basis. (2)We found that IRF-3 is phosphorylated by IKKi at Ser386 and form a homodimer to bind CBP/p300in vitro and produces type Iinterferons. (3)RIG-I like receptor family proteins (RLR) play essential roles to recognize double stranded RNA (dsRNA) in cytosol. We found that the C terminal domain of RLR recognizes viral specific dsRNA. Wedetermined the structure of C-terminal domain of RLR and discussed the specific interaction with viral specific dsRNA. (4)dsRNA and LPS bind to TLR3 and TLR4, respectively to activate downstream signaling to producetype 1 interferons. Here, we determined the structure of TIR domains of TRIF and TRAM andelucidated their oligomerization process which is essential for down stream signaling. (5)We elucidated the recognition mechanism of β1-3 glucan by βGRP from Bombyx Mori.
