Structural basis of TIR-domain-assembly formation in MAL- and MyD88-dependent TLR4 signaling.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling is a key innate immunity response to pathogens. Recruitment of signaling adapters such as MAL (TIRAP) and MyD88 to the TLRs requires Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-domain interactions, which remain structurally elusive. Here we show that MAL TIR domains spontaneously and reversibly form filaments in vitro. They also form cofilaments with TLR4 TIR domains and induce formation of MyD88 assemblies. A 7-Å-resolution cryo-EM structure reveals a stable MAL protofilament consisting of two parallel strands of TIR-domain subunits in a BB-loop-mediated head-to-tail arrangement. Interface residues that are important for the interaction are conserved among different TIR domains. Although large filaments of TLR4, MAL or MyD88 are unlikely to form during cellular signaling, structure-guided mutagenesis, combined with in vivo interaction assays, demonstrated that the MAL interactions defined within the filament represent a template for a conserved mode of TIR-domain interaction involved in both TLR and interleukin-1 receptor signaling.

Structural basis for the multiple interactions of the MyD88 TIR domain in TLR4 signaling.

Project description:Myeloid differentiating factor 88 (MyD88) and MyD88 adaptor-like (Mal) are adaptor molecules critically involved in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling pathway. While Mal has been proposed to serve as a membrane-sorting adaptor, MyD88 mediates signal transduction from activated TLR4 to downstream components. The Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain of MyD88 is responsible for sorting and signaling via direct or indirect TIR-TIR interactions between Mal and TLR4. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in multiple interactions of the TIR domain remain unclear. The present study describes the solution structure of the MyD88 TIR domain. Reporter gene assays revealed that 3 discrete surface sites in the TIR domain of MyD88 are important for TLR4 signaling. Two of these sites were shown to mediate direct binding to the TIR domain of Mal. Interestingly, Mal-TIR, but not MyD88-TIR, directly binds to the cytosolic TIR domain of TLR4. These observations suggested that the heteromeric assembly of TIR domains of the receptor and adaptors constitutes the initial step of TLR4 intracellular signal transduction.

LPS-induced TIR domain complex acetylation activated TLR4/MAL/MyD88 signal pathway in sepsis

Project description:Among the diseases caused by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) abnormal activation by bacterial endotoxin, sepsis is the most dangerous one. The reprogramming of macrophages plays a crucial role in orchestrating the pathogenesis of sepsis. However, the precise mechanism underlying TLR4 activation in macrophages remained incompletely understood. Our studies revealed that upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, CREB-binding protein (CBP) was recruited to the TLR4 signalosome complex and resulted in pronounced acetylation in the TIR domains of TLR4, Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and MyD88 adapter-like (MAL), which significantly enhanced the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway and polarization of M1 macrophages. In sepsis patients, significantly elevated TLR4-TIR acetylation was detected in CD16+ monocytes combined with elevated expression of M1 macrophage markers and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In contrast, histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) served as a key deacetylase in the deacetylation of the TIR domain complex. The inhibition of HDAC1 accelerated sepsis-associated syndromes, while the inhibition of CBP alleviated this process. Overall, our findings highlighted the crucial role of TIR domain complex acetylation in the regulation of inflammatory immune response and suggested that the reversible acetylation of the complex emerged as a promising therapeutic target for M1 macrophages during the progression of sepsis.

A TIR domain variant of MyD88 adapter-like (Mal)/TIRAP results in loss of MyD88 binding and reduced TLR2/TLR4 signaling.

Project description:The adapter protein MyD88 adapter-like (Mal), encoded by TIR-domain containing adapter protein (Tirap) (MIM 606252), is the most polymorphic of the five adapter proteins involved in Toll-like receptor signaling, harboring eight non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in its coding region. We screened reported mutations of Mal for activity in reporter assays to test the hypothesis that variants of Mal existed with altered signaling potential. A TIR domain variant, Mal D96N (rs8177400), was found to be inactive. In reconstituted cell lines, Mal D96N acted as a hypomorphic mutation, with impaired cytokine production and NF-kappaB activation upon lipopolysaccharide or PAM2CSK4 stimulation. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation studies revealed that Mal D96N is unable to interact with MyD88, a prerequisite for downstream signaling to occur. Computer modeling data suggested that residue 96 resides in the MyD88 binding site, further supporting these findings. Genotyping of Mal D96N in three different cohorts suggested that it is a rare mutation. We, thus, describe a rare variant in Mal that exerts its effect via its inability to bind MyD88.

Structural insights into TIR domain specificity of the bridging adaptor Mal in TLR4 signaling.

Project description:MyD88 adaptor-like protein (Mal) is a crucial adaptor that acts as a bridge to recruit the MyD88 molecule to activated TLR4 receptors in response to invading pathogens. The specific assembly of the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domains of TLR4, Mal and MyD88 is responsible for proper signal transduction in the TLR4 signaling pathway. However, the molecular mechanism for the specificity of these TIR domains remains unclear. Here, we present the crystal structure of the TIR domain of the human Mal molecule (Mal-TIR) at a resolution of 2.4 Å. Unexpectedly, Mal-TIR exhibits an extraordinarily long AB loop, but no ?B helix or BB loop, distinguishing it from other TIR domains. More importantly, the Mal-TIR AB loop is capable of mediating direct binding to the TIR domains of TLR4 and MyD88 simultaneously. We also found that Mal-TIR can form a back-to-back dimer that may resemble the dimeric assembly of the entire Mal molecule. Our data demonstrate the bridge role of the Mal-TIR domain and provide important information about TIR domain specificity.

Acetylation of TIR domains in the TLR4-Mal-MyD88 complex regulates immune responses in sepsis

Project description:Activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by bacterial endotoxins in macrophages plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. However, the mechanism underlying TLR4 activation in macrophages is still not fully understood. Here, we reveal that upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation, lysine acetyltransferase CBP is recruited to the TLR4 signalosome complex leading to increased acetylation of the TIR domains of the TLR4 signalosome. Acetylation of the TLR4 signalosome TIR domains significantly enhances signaling activation via NF-κB rather than IRF3 pathways. Induction of NF-κB signaling is responsible for gene expression changes leading to M1 macrophage polarization. In sepsis patients, significantly elevated TLR4-TIR acetylation is observed in CD16+ monocytes combined with elevated expression of M1 macrophage markers. Pharmacological inhibition of HDAC1, which deacetylates the TIR domains, or CBP play opposite roles in sepsis. Our findings highlight an important role of TLR4-TIR domain acetylation in the regulation of the immune responses in sepsis, and we propose this reversible acetylation of TLR4 signalosomes as a potential therapeutic target for M1 macrophages during the progression of sepsis.

MyD88 TIR domain higher-order assembly interactions revealed by microcrystal electron diffraction and serial femtosecond crystallography.

Project description:MyD88 and MAL are Toll-like receptor (TLR) adaptors that signal to induce pro-inflammatory cytokine production. We previously observed that the TIR domain of MAL (MALTIR) forms filaments in vitro and induces formation of crystalline higher-order assemblies of the MyD88 TIR domain (MyD88TIR). These crystals are too small for conventional X-ray crystallography, but are ideally suited to structure determination by microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) and serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX). Here, we present MicroED and SFX structures of the MyD88TIR assembly, which reveal a two-stranded higher-order assembly arrangement of TIR domains analogous to that seen previously for MALTIR. We demonstrate via mutagenesis that the MyD88TIR assembly interfaces are critical for TLR4 signaling in vivo, and we show that MAL promotes unidirectional assembly of MyD88TIR. Collectively, our studies provide structural and mechanistic insight into TLR signal transduction and allow a direct comparison of the MicroED and SFX techniques.
