One study showed that TLR9 proteolysis is a multistep process with the initial cleavage that can be mediated by AEP or multiple members of the cathepsin family. The second event is mediated exclusively by cathepsins. TLR7 and TLR3 were reported to be cleaved in a similar manner (Ewald SE et al 2011). Cleavage of TLR3 is not shown in this reaction, since other studies demonstrated that the N-terminal region of TLR3 ectodomain was implicated in ligand binding, suggesting that TLR3 may function as a full-length receptor (Liu L et al 2008, Tokisue T et al 2008).
Both full-length receptor and cleaved fragment corresponding to the C-terminal part of TLR9 were capable to bind ligand, however only the processed form (TLR9 C-ter, aa 471-1032) was shown to bind MyD88 and induce signaling in different mouse cells (Ewald SE et al 2008).
The Reactome event describes the apoptosome assembly with the stoichiometry of 4 procaspase-9 zymogens per 7 APAF1 molecules. The formation of 1:1 and other combinations of APAF1:CASP9(1-416) complexes is not shown.
SLIT C-terminal fragments may transduce signaling independently of ROBO receptors and Neuropilins (semaphorin receptors) by directly binding to Plexin A1 (Delloye-Bourgeois et al. 2015).
