Function

TLR9_MOUSE Key component of innate and adaptive immunity. TLRs (Toll-like receptors) control host immune response against pathogens through recognition of molecular patterns specific to microorganisms. TLR9 is a nucleotide-sensing TLR which is activated by unmethylated cytidine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG) dinucleotides. Acts via MYD88 and TRAF6, leading to NF-kappa-B activation, cytokine secretion and the inflammatory response. Plays a role in defense against systemic mouse cytomegalovirus infection. Controls lymphocyte response to Helicobacter infection.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Single-stranded DNA containing unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) motifs derived from microorganisms are recognized by Toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 and activate an innate immune response. TLR9 has two DNA-binding sites for CpG DNA and DNA containing cytosine at the second position from the 5'-end; both are required for efficient TLR9 activation in most vertebrate species. However, mouse TLR9 can be dimerized by CpG DNA only, although the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we report the crystal structure of mouse TLR9 complexed with both DNAs. Although most TLR9-CpG DNA interactions are conserved among species, some are unique to mice and involved in species-specificity. These findings provide the structural basis for how mouse TLR9 dimerizes efficiently in response to CpG DNA to activate innate immunity.
