Abstract
The Myddosome is an oligomeric protein complex composed of MyD88 and members of IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) family that transduce signals from Toll-like and IL-1 family receptors. The molecular dynamics of Myddosome formation and how the Myddosome organizes downstream signaling reactions provide insight into how TLR/IL-1Rs activate a decisive cellular response critical for the induction of inflammation. Supported lipid membranes formed on a continuous glass coverslip have been extensively used to study the molecular dynamics of receptor signaling. Here, we describe a protocol for the formation of IL-1-functionalized support lipid membrane that can be used to visualize the molecular dynamics of Myddosome formation and signaling in live cells.
