As this later domain shares only remote sequence relationships with the available TLR3 templates, a more complex modeling strategy was employed that combines the iterative implementation of (multi)threading/assembly/refinement (I-TASSER) structural prediction with expertise-guided posterior refinement. On dimerization subsequent to recognition of dsRNA, TLR3 recruits the adaptor protein Toll-interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-b (TRIF) to its cytoplasmic domain, thereby initiating a signaling cascade that results in the secretion of type I interferons and other inflammatory cytokines. ./cache/cord-316258-7hucqcaj.txt ./txt/cord-316258-7hucqcaj.txt
