| Description | This entry represents a family of proteins from bacteria, archaea and animals, including Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1-binding protein 1 from mouse, which has been named SIMPL (signalling molecule that associates with mouse pelle-like kinase). SIMPL is a component of the IRAK1-dependent TNFRSF1A signaling pathway that leads to NF-kappa-B activation and is required for cell survival. It functions by enhancing RelA transcriptional activity [ , ]. Separate experiments demonstrate that a mouse family member (named LaXp180) binds the Listeria monocytogenes surface protein ActA, which is a virulence factor that induces actin polymerisation. It may also bind stathmin, a protein involved in signal transduction and in the regulation of microtubule dynamics []. In bacteria its function is unknown, but it is thought to be located in the periplasm or outer membrane. |
