Anti-TICAM (Proline-rich, vinculin and TIR domain-containing protein B, Putative NF-kappa-B-activati

TICAM (TIR DOMAIN-CONTAINING ADAPTOR MOLECULE 1), also known as TICAM1 or TRIF, is an adapter in responding to activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs). It mediates the rather delayed cascade of two TLR-associated signaling cascades, where the other one is dependent upon a MyD88 adapter. By genomic sequence analysis, Oshiumi et al. (2003) mapped the TICAM1 gene to chromosome 19p13.3. By coimmunoprecipitation analysis, Oshiumi et al. (2003) showed that TICAM1 interacts specifically with TLR3, but not with other TLRs. Functional analysis showed that the association of TLR3 and TICAM1 mediates dsRNA activation of IFNB, through either NFKB, AP1, or IRF3. TICAM1 activation of NFKB was found to occur predominantly through IRAK1 rather than IRAK2 . Small interfering (si)RNA blockage of TICAM1, just upstream of the TIR domain, reduced IFNB production in response to dsRNA.
