Toll-like receptor 5 recognizes a conserved site on flagellin required for protofilament formation and bacterial motility. Nat Immunol. 4:2003;1247-1253 Flagellin is a protein ligand for TLR5, therefore, a full mutational study of the requirements for TLR5 activation was possible. The authors demonstrate that the site on flagellin that is recognized by TLR5 is required for polymerization of the flagellar filament, and thus motility.

Yersinia V-antigen exploits Toll-like receptor 2 and CD14 for interleukin 10-mediated immunosuppression. J Exp Med. 196:2002;1017-1024 This manuscript demonstrates that Yersinia V-antigen intentionally activates TLR2 to direct a suppressive immune response. Mice deficient in TLR2 are actually less susceptible to a model Yersinia infection.
