3D Structures of flagellin
Updated on 05-February-2018
FunctionFlagellin (Fla) from Salmonella typhimurium is the major molecular trigger by which the pathogen activates gut epithelial proinflammatory gene expression[1]. Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) recognizes bacterial Fla and this association mediates the innate immune response to the bacteria[2].
Structural highlightsFla and TLR5 binding interface is composed in part between the long helices of Fla and the ascending lateral surface of TLR5[3].
