NF-κB signaling is turned off by negative feedback

regulation because one of the genes whose transcription is induced by NF-κB encodes I-κBα.

IL-1β receptors contain a globular TIR domain; binding of IL-1β to IL-1 receptors triggers dimerization

After dimerization MyD88 proteins bind to the IL-1R through the TIRs, and facilitates the binding of many copies of the kinases IRAK4 and IRAK1 or IRAK2

Activated IRAK1/2, binds TRAF6, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, to the signalsome, and promotes the formation of an extended 2-D lattice formed by TRAF6-TRAF6 interactions.

TRAF6 catalyzes synthesis of long K-63-linked polyubiquitin chains that are covalently linked to TRAF6 itself.
