Table 4. Positively selected sites predicted to affect TLR function based on human Swiss Prot entries and site location in three dimensional TLR structures.
Gene | Codon | Equivalent codon in human | Functional Information |
---|---|---|---|
TLR1 | 117 | 113 | In the region (110–132) of cysteine residues participating in disulphide bonds a |
434 | 430 | Adjacent to a glycosylation site (429) a | |
559 | 555 | Adjacent to site of SNP (Tyr554Cys) that leads to marked impairment of NF-kB activation b | |
TLR2 | 338 | 337 | LRR12—involved in ligand binding a |
TLR6 | 334 | 334 | LRR12—involved in TLR2-TLR6 heterodimerization c |
