Abstract

Toll-like receptor 9 binds to DNA from bacteria or viruses and activates a signaling pathway that leads to the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferon. Adaptor complex AP-3 was required for TLR9 trafficking and the production of type I interferon but not for proinflammatory cytokines. This suggests that TLR9 signaling is regulated by the subcellular localization of the receptor.

Keywords: Toll-like receptor 9, Membrane trafficking, Adaptor complex AP-3
