Response to Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) is partially mediated by the recognition of GNB-derived endotoxin (E) by host cells. Potent host response to E depends on the sequential interaction of E with lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), CD14, MD-2 and Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4). While CD14 facilitates the efficient transfer of E monomers to MD-2 and MD-2·TLR4, activation of MD-2·TLR4 can occur in the absence of CD14, through an unknown mechanism. Here we show that incubation of purified E aggregates (Eagg, Mr ≥ 20 million) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with ≥ 0.1% albumin in the absence of divalent cations Ca2+ and Mg2+, yields E·albumin complexes (Mr ~70,000). E·albumin transfers E monomers to sMD-2 or sMD-2·TLR4 ectodomain (TLR4ecd) with a “Kd” of ~4 nM and induces MD-2·TLR4-dependent, CD14-independent cell activation with a potency only 10-fold less than that of monomeric E·CD14 complexes. Our findings demonstrate for the first time a mechanistic basis for delivery of endotoxin monomers to MD-2 and for activation of TLR4 that is independent of CD14.
