Abstract:
Toll-like receptors (TLR) recognize bacterial and viral components, but direct interaction of receptor and ligand is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that TLR9 binds directly and sequence-specifically to single-stranded unmethylated CpG-DNA containing a phosphodiester backbone. TLR9-CpG-DNA interaction occurs at the acidic pH (6.5-5.0) found in endosomes and lysosomes. By sequence comparison we identified a potential CpG-DNA binding domain homologous to that described for methyl-CpG-DNA binding pro...     »
