Journal: Sci Adv / Year: 2026 Title: Toll-like receptor signaling outcome is determined by the stoichiometry of the endogenous TRIFosome. Authors: Martin C Moncrieffe / Prasanna Suresh / Joe Boyle / Yuhao Cui / Bharti Nawalpuri / Brett Verstak / Yu P Zhang / Ziwei Zhang / Marcus Taylor / Edward H Egelman / Nicholas Gay / David Klenerman / Clare Bryant / Abstract: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) drive innate immunity via assembly of macromolecular signal transduction platforms [supramolecular organizing centers (SMOCs)] coordinated by adaptor proteins such as ...Toll-like receptors (TLRs) drive innate immunity via assembly of macromolecular signal transduction platforms [supramolecular organizing centers (SMOCs)] coordinated by adaptor proteins such as Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) domain-containing adaptor-inducing interferon-β (TRIF), but whether oligomeric TRIFosomes form is unknown. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy and biophysical characterization of full-length TRIF in vitro, we show that it forms filamentous oligomers, which associate with the TRIF signaling partners receptor interacting protein 1 (RIP1) and RIP3 kinases, suggesting that oligomeric TRIFosomes could form. Endogenous TRIF, however, is predominantly monomeric in the absence of ligand, only forming TRIFosome oligomers in macrophages after stimulation of TLR4 or TLR3 when large, macromolecular signaling complexes form. TRIFosomes are fully formed 45 min after TLR3 or 60 min after TLR4 stimulation, commensurate with activation of nuclear factor κB in these cells. TLR3/4 activation triggers rapid interferon signaling prior to TRIFosome formation through monomeric TRIF, unexpectedly suggesting that a macromolecular platform of TRIF is not required to drive this signaling pathway. Collectively, these data show TRIFosome macromolecular platform formation and, unexpectedly, that TLR signaling can be SMOC-independent in addition to being SMOC-dependent.

In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
