Trans -autophosphorylation is among the most prevalent means of protein kinase activation, yet its molecular basis is poorly defined. In Toll-like receptor and interleukin-1 receptor signaling pathways, the kinase IRAK4 is recruited to the membrane proximal adapter MyD88 through death domain (DD) interactions, forming the oligomeric Myddosome and mediating NF-?B activation. Here we show that unphosphorylated IRAK4 dimerizes in solution with a Kd of 2.5 ?M and that Myddosome assembly greatly enhances IRAK4 kinase domain (KD) autophosphorylation at sub-Kd concentrations. The crystal structure of the unphosphorylated IRAK4KD dimer captures a conformation that appears to represent the actual trans-autophosphorylation reaction, with the activation loop phosphosite of one IRAK4 monomer precisely positioned for phosphotransfer by its partner. We show dimerization is crucial for IRAK4 autophosphorylation in vitro and ligand-dependent signaling in cells. These studies identify a mechanism for oligomerization-driven allosteric autoactivation of IRAK4 that may be general to other kinases activated by autophosphorylation.
