Spatial structure of TLR4 transmembrane domain in bicelles provides the insight into the receptor activation mechanism

Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a key role in the innate and adaptive immune systems. While a lot of structural data is available for the extracellular and cytoplasmic domains of TLRs, and a model of the dimeric full-length TLR3 receptor in the active state was build, the conformation of th...
