PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • an N terminal death domain including a threonine residue (Thr66) critical for dimerization and function
  • mono polymer heteromer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Irak1 (81 pc)
    homolog to murine Irak1 (80.8 pc)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • protein kinase superfamily
  • Ser/Thr family of protein kinase
  • PELLE subfamily
  • CATEGORY enzyme , signaling
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a serine/threonine kinase involved in the IL1 pathway, partially involved in IL1-induced upregulation of the transcription factor NF-kappa B
  • playing an essential role in the activation of NFKB and JNK in response to IL18
  • its activation is a key event in the transmission of signals from Toll-like receptors (TLRs)
  • initiate a cascade of signaling events eventually leading to induction of inflammatory target gene expression
  • serine/threonine protein kinase involved in the signaling cascade of the Toll/IL-1 receptor (TIR) family
  • being an essential regulator for lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-10 gene expression
  • pivotal regulator of the NFKB pathway
  • having a kinase activity redundant with that of IRAK4
  • MYD88 and the associated kinases IRAK1 and IRAK4 are essential for activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survival
  • MYD88 and IRAK1 are required to maintain the viability of ABC DLBCL cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS immunity/defense
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    bacterial LPS proapoptotic complex pathways diverging downstream IRAK1 towards to NF-kappa BL activation or apoptosis
    a component
  • forming a complex with IL1R1 after induction by IL1 through its association with IL1RAP
  • subsequently interacting with TRAF6 required for IL-1 mediated NFKB activation (see symbols)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule cofactor, nucleotide,
  • Mg2+
  • ATP
  • protein
  • MYD88, TRAF6, IKK complex (to mediating IL1 beta signal transduction)
  • binding to the IL-1 type I receptor following IL-1 engagement
  • activating PELI1, PELI2, PELI3
  • TIRAP is a substrate for IRAK1 and IRAK4 and is likely an important control mechanism in TLR2 and TLR4 signal transduction
  • IRAK1 catalytic activity is not triggered by a covalent modification but by an allosteric mechanism induced by its interaction with IRAK4
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    inhibited by IRAK4 (induce the degradation of IRAK1 in a proteosome-independent manner)
