Data-Driven Modeling Identifies TIRAP-Independent MyD88 Activation Complex and Myddosome Assembly Strategy in LPS/TLR4 Signaling.

ABSTRACT: TLR4 complexes are essential for the initiation of the LPS-induced innate immune response. The Myddosome, which mainly contains TLR4, TIRAP, MyD88, IRAK1/4 and TRAF6 proteins, is regarded as a major complex of TLR4. Although the Myddosome has been well studied, a quantitative description of the Myddosome assembly dynamics is still lacking. Furthermore, whether some unknown TLR4 complexes exist remains unclear. In this study, we constructed a SWATH-MS data-based mathematical model that describes the component assembly dynamics of TLR4 complexes. In addition to Myddosome, we suggest that a TIRAP-independent MyD88 activation complex is formed upon LPS stimulation, in which TRAF6 is not included. Furthermore, quantitative analysis reveals that the distribution of components in TIRAP-dependent
