Summary
IRAK1 plays an essential role in Toll-like receptor/interleukin-1 receptor (TLR/IL-1R) -associated NF-kappaB activation through its involvement in IKK activation, which then leads to subsequent IkappaB degradation and NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and both cytosolic and nuclear actions of IRAK1 participate in the activation of NF-kappaB-dependent transcriptional events.
IRAK1 and IRAK4 play key roles in a signalling pathway by which bacterial infection or interleukin-1 (IL1) trigger the production of inflammatory mediators. Pellino isoforms are the E3 ubiquitin ligases that mediate the IL1-stimulated formation of K63-pUb-IRAK1 in cells, which contribute to the activation of IKBKB and NF-kappaB, as well as other signalling pathways dependent on IRAK1 and IRAK4.
IRAK1 is a component of a novel signal transduction pathway through which TNF receptor activates NF-kappaB-dependent gene expression.
IRAK1 plays an essential proximal role in coordinating multiple IL1 signalling pathways for optimal induction of cellular responses.
IRAK1 functionally associates with PKC-epsilon and VASP in the regulation of macrophage migration.
IRAK1 and MYD88 autosomal recessive deficiencies impair Toll-like receptor (TLR)- and interleukin-1 receptor-mediated immunity and predispose patients to recurrent life-threatening bacterial diseases, such as invasive pneumococcal disease in particular, in infancy and early childhood, with weak signs of inflammation.
IRAK1 is polyubiquitinated and disassembled during endotoxin tolerization; a process which impairs the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines without inhibition expression of anti-inflammatory or anti-microbial mediators.
IRAK1 mediates the proteasome-dependent degradation of TRAF6 and acts as a negative regulator of TLR-signalling. (Demonstrated in mice)
IRAK1 accumulation triggers ischemia-induced inflammation in the small intestine.
MIR146A is a potent negative regulator of the innate immune response in keratinocytes through downregulation of the IRAK1/TRAF6/NFκB pathway.
Endotoxin tolerance re-programs TLR4 signalling via suppression of PELI1, a positive regulator of MyD88- and TIR domain-containing adapter inducing IFN-β (TRIF)-dependent signalling that promotes K63-linked polyubiquitination of IRAK1, TBK1, and TAK1.

Summary
[Mus musculus] Irak1 is polyubiquitinated and disassembled during endotoxin tolerization; a process which impairs the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines without inhibition expression of anti-inflammatory or anti-microbial mediators.
[Mus musculus] Irak1 mediates the proteasome-dependent degradation of Traf6 and acts as a negative regulator of TLR-signalling.
[Mus musculus] IRAK1 accumulation triggers ischemia-induced inflammation in the small intestine.
[Mus musculus] Mir146 attenuates sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction by preventing NFκB activation, inflammatory cell infiltration, and inflammatory cytokine production via targeting of Irak1 and Traf6 in both cardiomyocytes and inflammatory monocytic cells
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1, one of two putative serine/threonine kinases that become associated with the interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R) upon stimulation. This gene is partially responsible for IL1-induced upregulation of the transcription factor NF-kappa B. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
