1. The architecture of the TLR signaling network.
The architecture of the TLR signaling network. A reduced map of TLR signaling network that extracts the flow of activation and inhibition. This diagram is created based on the comprehensive TLR signaling network map as shown in Figure 1. Filled arrows in this figure indicate ‘activation’, and other arrows such as bar‐headed, circle‐headed, dashed, and dot‐dot‐dashed lines are the same as Figure 1. The double line denotes ‘binding’ in this figure. A molecule shown to connect with both ‘activation’ and ‘inhibition’ arrows can act oppositely according to the condition. A line of mutual inhibition that connects two CREB‐binding protein (CBP) molecules means the competition for limiting amounts of CBP, which is a transcriptional coactivator that interacts with both NF‐κ B p65 and CREB. TLR signaling network consists of the main bow‐tie network and three collateral subnetworks that involves small GTPase, PIPs, and MyD88‐independent pathways. There are extensive crosstalk regulations between the main bow‐tie network and other subsystems, as well as multiple feedback and feedforward controls. Notable interactions are color‐coded: red, positive feedback loop; blue, negative feedback loop; purple, inhibitory feedforward path; orange, positive crosstalk from subsystems to the bow‐tie network; and green, negative crosstalk from subsystems to the bow‐tie network. High resolution file for this figure is available from the Supplementary information.
