The interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1) is an important adapter in the signaling complex of the Toll/interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor family. Formation of the signaling IL-1 receptor complex results in the activation and hyperphosphorylation of IRAK-1, which leads to a pronounced shift of its apparent molecular mass in gel electrophoresis. Presently, the individual residues phosphorylated in IRAK-1 and the consequences for IRAK-1 function are unknown. We define sequential phosphorylation steps in IRAK-1, which are, in vitro, autophosphorylation. First, IRAK-1 is phosphorylated at Thr209. By fluorescence energy transfer experiments, we demonstrate that Thr209 phosphorylation results in a conformational change of the kinase domain, permitting further phosphorylations to take place. Substitution of Thr209 by alanine results in a kinase-inactive IRAK-1. Second, Thr387 in the activation loop is phosphorylated, leading to full enzymatic activity. Third, IRAK-1 autophosphorylates several times in the proline-, serine-, and threonine-rich ProST region between the N-terminal death domain and kinase domain. Hyperphosphorylation of this region leads to dissociation of IRAK-1 from the upstream adapters MyD88 and Tollip but leaves its interaction with the downstream adapter TRAF6 unaffected. This identifies IRAK-1 as a novel type of adapter protein, which employs its own kinase activity to introduce negative charges adjacent to the protein interaction domain, which anchors IRAK-1 at the active receptor complex. Thus, IRAK-1 regulates its own availability as an adapter molecule by sequential autophosphorylation.

Wesche H. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 2002; 1592: 265-280Crossref PubMed Scopus (335) Google Scholar). The TIR family comprises the IL-1 receptor subfamily, recognizing the endogenous proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-18, and the members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) subfamily, recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (reviewed in Ref. 2O'Neill L.A. Dinarello C.A. Immunol. Today. 2000; 21: 206-209Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (347) Google Scholar). After ligand binding, all members of the TIR family form multimeric receptor complexes. These receptors share the cytoplasmic TIR domain, which is indispensable for signal transduction. The TIR domain serves as a scaffold for the recruitment of adapter proteins. This results in the activation of a core signaling module consisting of MyD88, IRAK-4 and IRAK-1, and TRAF6. Subsequently, several central signaling pathways are activated in parallel, the activation of NF-κB being a hallmark of the inflammatory response. The additional use of individual adapter proteins like TIRAP/Mal (3Horng T. Barton G.M. Medzhitov R. Nat. Immunol. 2001; 2: 835-841Crossref PubMed Scopus (825) Google Scholar, 4Fitzgerald K.A.

Presently, the family of human IRAK molecules consists of four members: IRAK-1 (7Cao Z. Henzel W.J. Gao X. Science. 1996; 271: 1128-1131Crossref PubMed Scopus (768) Google Scholar), IRAK-2 (8Muzio M.

Thus, deletion of IRAK-4 abrogates cell responsiveness to IL-1 and a series of other ligands of the TIR family (11Suzuki N. Suzuki S. Duncan G.S. Millar D.G. Wada T. Mirtsos C. Takada H. Wakeham A.
