Heterologous Expression and Assembly of Human TLR Signaling Components in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>

Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling is key to detect pathogens and initiating inflammation. Ligand recognition triggers the assembly of supramolecular organizing centers (SMOCs) consisting of large complexes composed of multiple subunits. Building such signaling hubs relies on Toll Interleukin-1 Rece...
