Article Synopsis
- Several bacterial pathogens have proteins with TIR domains that help them cause disease.
- A newly identified protein in Brucella, called BtpB, inhibits TLR signaling likely through MyD88, affecting immune responses.
- BtpB is important for Brucella's virulence and contributes to chronic brucellosis by interfering with host dendritic cell activation.
