interleukin-1, type II receptor binding

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Binding to a Type II interleukin-1 receptor. [GOC:ai]

Interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1RII) binding is a crucial step in the regulation of the immune response. IL-1RII acts as a decoy receptor for IL-1α and IL-1β, competing with the signaling receptor IL-1RI for ligand binding. This competition plays a critical role in modulating the pro-inflammatory effects of IL-1.

Upon binding to IL-1RII, the cytokine is unable to trigger downstream signaling pathways, effectively dampening the inflammatory cascade. This is due to the absence of a cytoplasmic Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain in IL-1RII, which is essential for the recruitment of adaptor proteins and activation of signaling cascades.

The binding of IL-1 to IL-1RII serves as a negative feedback mechanism, preventing excessive inflammation and maintaining immune homeostasis. This decoy receptor function of IL-1RII is particularly important in chronic inflammatory conditions, where it contributes to the resolution of inflammation and tissue repair.'
