negative regulation of MyD88-independent toll-like receptor signaling pathway

Definition

Target type: biologicalprocess

Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of MyD88-independent toll-like receptor signaling pathway. [GOC:add, PMID:16551253, PMID:17328678]

Negative regulation of MyD88-independent toll-like receptor signaling pathway involves a complex interplay of molecular mechanisms that dampen the activation of this specific immune signaling branch. This pathway, unlike the MyD88-dependent pathway, is primarily activated by TLR3, TLR4, and TLRs 7-9.

Here's a breakdown of the key steps and regulatory elements:

1. **TLR Recognition and Activation:** Upon encountering their respective ligands (e.g., viral dsRNA for TLR3, bacterial LPS for TLR4, or viral ssRNA for TLR7/8/9), these TLRs undergo conformational changes and dimerization.
2. **TRIF-Dependent Signaling:** The activated TLRs recruit the adaptor protein TRIF (TIR domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-beta), initiating a downstream signaling cascade.
3. **TRAF3 and TBK1 Activation:** TRIF interacts with TRAF3 (TNF receptor-associated factor 3), leading to the activation of TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1).
4. **IRF3 Phosphorylation and Nuclear Translocation:** TBK1 phosphorylates the transcription factor IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3), promoting its dimerization and translocation to the nucleus.
5. **Type I Interferon Production:** In the nucleus, IRF3 interacts with other transcription factors and induces the transcription of type I interferons (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta).
6. **Negative Regulatory Mechanisms:** A range of mechanisms contribute to the negative regulation of this pathway:
- **Inhibition of TLR Activation:** Certain proteins, like the TLR adaptor protein MAL, can directly inhibit TLR4 activation, dampening the initiation of the signaling cascade.
- **TRAF3 Degradation:** TRAF3 can be targeted for degradation by ubiquitination, effectively reducing its availability for signal transduction.
- **TBK1 Inhibition:** The activity of TBK1 can be negatively regulated by several mechanisms, including phosphorylation by kinases like IKK-epsilon or by interaction with proteins like SARM1.
- **IRF3 Degradation:** Phosphorylated IRF3 can be subject to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, limiting its ability to induce interferon production.
- **Negative Feedback Loops:** Type I interferons themselves can induce the expression of negative regulators, such as SOCS1 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 1), which can inhibit downstream signaling components.
- **Crosstalk with Other Pathways:** Signaling pathways mediated by other TLRs (MyD88-dependent) or by other receptors can influence the activity of the MyD88-independent pathway, leading to complex regulatory interactions.

The fine-tuning of MyD88-independent TLR signaling is crucial for maintaining immune homeostasis. Overactivation of this pathway can contribute to excessive inflammation and autoimmune responses, whereas insufficient activation can impair antiviral immunity. Therefore, the intricate network of negative regulatory mechanisms ensures a balanced and controlled response to TLR activation.'
