TIR domain
PF01582
Definition
The Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) homology domain is an intracellular signalling domain found in MyD88, interleukin 1 receptor and the Toll receptor. It contains three highly-conserved regions, and mediates protein-protein interactions between the Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and signal-transduction components. TIR-like motifs are also found in plant proteins thought to be involved in resistance to disease. When activated, TIR domains recruit cytoplasmic adaptor proteins MyD88 ([swissprot:Q99836]) and TOLLIP (Toll interacting protein, [swissprot:Q9H0E2]). In turn, these associate with various kinases to set off signalling cascades PMID:12186654.
