Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a central molecule in inflammation and immune responses whose pleiotropic activities are mediated by the type I IL-1 receptor (IL-1RI). The IL-1RI alone on the cell surface is silent after binding of the ligand. We show that the recently identified IL-1RI accessory protein (IL-1RAcP) converts the silent into a fully functional IL-1RI complex. Although transfection of IL-1RAcP into IL-1RAcP-deficient EL4D6/76 cells did not alter the binding kinetics or dissociation constants of the I-125-labeled IL-1 alpha/IL-1RI complex, a very early event, internalization of the activated receptor complex, and a late event, IL-1-stimulated IL-2 production, were successfully restored. Therefore, recruitment of IL-1RAcP is a critical early step in the signaling cascade mediated by the IL-1RI activation complex.
