Characterization of the Interaction between Interleukin-13 and Interleukin-13 Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Interleukin-13 (IL-13) possesses two types of receptor: the heterodimer, composed of the IL-13Ralpha1 chain (IL-13Ralpha1) and the IL-4Ralpha chain (IL-4Ralpha), transducing the IL-13 signals; and the IL-13Ralpha2 chain (IL-13Ralpha2), acting as a nonsignaling "decoy" receptor.

Mutants of Interleukin 13 with Altered Reactivity toward Interleukin 13 Receptors [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Interleukin 13 (IL13) belongs to a family of cytokines whose members exhibit structural homology, despite amino acid sequence dissimilarity. For example, while of limited sequence homology, IL13 and IL4 share a signaling receptor, IL13/4 receptor, on a variety of human normal cells. However, a subclass of IL4-independent IL13 receptors is overexpressed

Characterisation of bovine leukocyte Ig-like receptors [PDF]

, 2012
Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-like receptors (LILR) are innate immune receptors involved in regulating both innate and adaptive immune functions. LILR show more interspecies conservation than the closely related Killer Ig-like receptors, and homologues have ...

Kinetic Analysis of the Interleukin-13 Receptor Complex [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002
Interleukin (IL)-13 is a key cytokine associated with the asthmatic phenotype. It signals via its cognate receptor, a complex of IL-13 receptor alpha1 chain (IL-13Ralpha1) with IL-4Ralpha; however, a second protein, IL-13Ralpha2, also binds IL-13. To determine the binding contributions of the individual components of the IL-13 receptor to IL-13, we ...

IL-13R alpha 2 reverses the effects of IL-13 and IL-4 on bronchial reactivity and acetylcholine-induced Ca2+ signaling [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The interleukins IL-4 and IL-13 play a key role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The interleukin receptor IL-13R alpha 2 is believed to act as a decoy receptor, but until now, the functional significance of IL-13R alpha 2 remains vague ...

Vaccinia virus protein A46R targets multiple Toll-like-interleukin-1 receptor adaptors and contributes to virulence [PDF]

, 2005
Viral immune evasion strategies target key aspects of the host antiviral response. Recently, it has been recognized that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have a role in innate defense against viruses.

Sequence specific detection of bacterial 23S ribosomal RNA by TLR13

eLife, 2012
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) detect microbial infections and trigger innate immune responses. Among vertebrate TLRs, the role of TLR13 and its ligand are unknown. Here we show that TLR13 detects the 23S ribosomal RNA of both gram-positive and gram-negative

Leukotriene D4 and interleukin-13 cooperate to increase the release of eotaxin-3 by airway epithelial cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Airway epithelial cells play a central role in the physiopathology of asthma. They release eotaxins when treated with T(H)2 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13, and these chemokines attract eosinophils and potentiate the biosynthesis of ...

Characterization of the Cytoplasmic Domain of Interleukin-13 Receptor-α [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
Interleukin (IL)-13 and IL-4 are pleiotropic immunoregulatory cytokines that share many overlapping biological properties reflecting the fact that both can utilize a receptor complex composed of the IL-4 receptor-alpha (IL-4Ralpha) chain and the IL-13Ralpha chain.
