Phosphorylation of FADD/MORT1 and Fas by kinases that associate with the membrane-proximal cytoplasmic domain of Fas.

Findings suggest that, similar to the Fas-related p55 TNFR, the membrane-proximal region of Fas likely participates in signaling.

The Death Domain of FADD Is Essential for Embryogenesis, Lymphocyte Development, and Proliferation*

A reverse genetic study has revealed a previously unappreciated role of the FADD death domain, which likely functions as a molecular switch regulating two distinct signals leading to apoptosis and cell proliferation and is critical for embryogenesis, lymphocyte development, and proliferation.

Regulation of Fas-associated Death Domain Interactions by the Death Effector Domain Identified by a Modified Reverse Two-hybrid Screen*

Data indicate that in contrast to current models, the death effector domain of FADD is involved in interaction with Fas, and a modified reverse two-hybrid method is developed that can identify mutations, which inhibit some protein-protein interactions without affecting other interactions.

NMR structure and mutagenesis of the FADD (Mort1) death-effector domain

A hydrophobic region of the FADD death-effector domain that is not present in the death domains is vital for binding to FLICE and for apoptotic activity.

Structural and biochemical analysis of the death domain complex formed at the Fas receptor

It was found that residues from many surface regions of Fas-DD are crucial for the FADD-DD interaction, which has potentially important implications for the nature of the organisation of the death domains in the death inducing signalling complex (DISC) formed at the Fas receptor.

Dissecting Fas signaling with an altered-specificity death-domain mutant: requirement of FADD binding for apoptosis but not Jun N-terminal kinase activation.

It is suggested that FADD and Daxx activate two independent pathways downstream of Fas and confirm the essential role of FADD binding in apoptosis induction.

The Solution Structure of FADD Death Domain

The interactions between the death domains of Fas and FADD analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis indicate that charged residues in helices α2 and α3 are involved in death domain interactions, and the interacting helices appear to interact in anti-parallel pattern.

CASH, a Novel Caspase Homologue with Death Effector Domains*

The findings suggest that CASH acts as an attenuator and/or initiator in CD95 and CD120a signaling for cell death, through a shared N-terminal sequence motif, the death effector domain.

RICK, a Novel Protein Kinase Containing a Caspase Recruitment Domain, Interacts with CLARP and Regulates CD95-mediated Apoptosis*

RICK represents a novel kinase that may regulate apoptosis induced by the CD95/Fas receptor pathway, and both the kinase domain and caspase-recruitment domain were required for RICK to promote apoptosis.

Aggregation of the intracellular domain of the type 1 tumor necrosis factor receptor defined by the two-hybrid system.

Results suggest that aggregation of type 1 TNF receptor intracellular domains may be important in TNF signal transduction.

Fas and tumor necrosis factor receptor-mediated cell death: similarities and distinctions

The results provide a model to study Fas and TNFR-mediated cell death and suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of death signals triggered by members of the TNFR family.

Fas- and Tumor Necrosis Factor-induced Apoptosis Is Inhibited by the Poxvirus crmA Gene Product (*)

CrmA was found to be an exceptionally potent inhibitor of apoptosis induced by both Fas- and tumor necrosis factor-induced cell death pathways, capable of blocking the cell death program even at pharmacological doses of the death stimulus.

Fas(CD95)/FasL interactions required for programmed cell death after T-cell activation

It is shown that receptor crosslinking induces Fas ligand and upregulates Fas, and that the ensuing engagement of Fas by Fasligand activates the cell-death programme.

Self-association of the Death Domains of the p55 Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Receptor and Fas/APO1 Prompts Signaling for TNF and Fas/APO1 Effects (*)

It is indicated that the p55 TNF and Fas/APO1 receptors play active roles in their own clustering and suggest the existence of cellular mechanisms that restrict the self-association of these receptors, thus preventing constitutive signaling.
