چکیده
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) belong to the Toll-like receptor (TLR)/interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) superfamily, which is defined by a common cytoplasmic Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain. These receptors recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns and initiate an intracellular kinase cascade to cause an immediate defensive response. SIGIRR (single immunoglobulin interleukin-1 receptor-related molecule), another member of the TLR/IL-1R superfamily, acts as a negative regulator of the MyD88-dependent TLR signaling. It attenuates the recruitment of MyD88 adaptors to the receptors with its intracellular TIR domain. Thus, SIGIRR reveals potential significance in the therapy of autoimmune diseases. However, the mechanism how SIGIRR structurally interacts with TLRs and adaptor molecules remains unclear. Here, we developed three-dimensional structures for the TIR domains of TLR4, MyD88 and SIGIRR based on computational modeling. Through protein-protein docking analysis, we suggest models of essential complexes involved in the TLR4 signaling and the SIGIRR inhibiting processes. SIGIRR may exert its inhibitory effect through blocking the molecular interface of TLR4-TLR4 and MyD88-MyD88 dimers mainly via its BB-loop region.

A Model for Understanding Collaborative Information Behavior in E-Discovery
The University of Pittsburgh team participated in the interactive task of Legal Track in TREC 2009. We designed an experiment to investigate into the collaborative information behavior (CIB) of the group of people working on e-discovery tasks provided by Legal Track in TREC 2009. Through the studies, we proposed a model for understanding CIB in e-discovery.
متن کاملTriggers and Barriers of Collaborative Information Behavior (CIB) Among Physicians: A Qualitative Study
Background and Aim: Collaborative information behavior (CIB) is strongly affected by contextual factors and in different contexts we can see various aspects of collaborative information behavior. In this study, we investigate the triggers and barriers of collaborative information behavior in an educational-medical context in Iran. Method: This qualitative research uses grounded theory as resear...
متن کاملCosmic Infrared Background and Early Galaxy Evolution
The Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) reflects the sum total of galactic luminosi-ties integrated over the entire age of the universe. From its measurement the red-shifted starlight and dust-absorbed and re-radiated starlight of the CIB can be used to determine (or constrain) the rates of star formation and metal production as a function of time and deduce information about objects at epochs cur...
متن کاملCosmic Infrared Background Fluctuations in Deep Spitzer IRAC Images: Data Processing and Analysis
This paper provides a detailed description of the data reduction and analysis procedures that have been employed in our previous studies of spatial fluctuation of the cosmic infrared background (CIB) using deep Spitzer IRAC observations. The selfcalibration we apply removes a strong instrumental signal from the fluctuations which would otherwise corrupt our results. The procedures and results f...
متن کاملClosing-in behavior in mild cognitive impairment: an executive deficit.
This study explored Closing-in behavior (CIB), the tendency in figure copying to draw very close to or on top of the model, in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The files of 154 people diagnosed with MCI were reviewed and CIB was identified in 21% of cases. Two approaches were used to explore CIB. First, we capitalized on the diverse cognitive profiles within MCI, subdividing the overall sample ...
متن کاملCalcium-and integrin-binding protein regulates focal adhesion kinase activity during platelet spreading on immobilized fibrinogen.
Platelet spreading on the subendothelium in response to vascular injury is fundamental to the regulation of physiologic hemostasis. Previously, we have shown that, when bound to glycoprotein IIb (GPIIb), calcium- and integrin-binding protein (CIB) regulates platelet spreading on immobilized fibrinogen (Fg). In this study, we investigated the signaling events that occur downstream of CIB in the ...
