The role of toll-like receptors in macrophagesClaire E McCoy
Department of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
Front Biosci 13:62-70. 2008..Since their discovery, it has become clear that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) can play a major role in these macrophage functions. This review will describe the TLRs, their signalling pathways and their role in macrophage function...
Glucocorticoids inhibit IRF3 phosphorylation in response to Toll-like receptor-3 and -4 by targeting TBK1 activationClaire E McCoy
School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
J Biol Chem 283:14277-85. 2008..Our study, therefore, demonstrates that TBK1 is a target for dexamethasone, common to both TLR3 and TLR4 signaling...
IL-10 inhibits miR-155 induction by toll-like receptorsClaire E McCoy
School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland
J Biol Chem 285:20492-8. 2010..This is the first example of IL-10 playing a role in microRNA function and suggests that through its inhibitory effect on miR-155, IL-10 has the ability to promote anti-inflammatory gene expression...
MicroRNAs: the fine-tuners of Toll-like receptor signallingLuke A O'Neill
School of Biochemistry and Immunology, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Nat Rev Immunol 11:163-75. 2011..miRNAs are also proving to be an important link between the innate and adaptive immune systems, and their dysregulation might have a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases...
MSK1 activity is controlled by multiple phosphorylation sitesClaire E McCoy
MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK
Biochem J 387:507-17. 2005..This is in contrast with the closely related RSK (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase) proteins, whose activity requires phosphorylation by PDK1 (3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1) in addition to phosphorylation by ERK1/2...
Identification of novel phosphorylation sites in MSK1 by precursor ion scanning MSClaire E McCoy
MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 5EH, Scotland, UK
Biochem J 402:491-501. 2007....
