Death Effector Domain-Only Polypeptides of Caspase-8 and -10 Specifically Inhibit Death Receptor-Induced Cell Death

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2002
Caspase-8 and -10 are thought to be involved in a signaling pathway leading to death receptor-mediated apoptosis. The prodomains of these caspases are known to form fibrous structures in the perinuclear region when overexpressed, though the meaning of the structures remains unclear.

Suppression of receptor-mediated apoptosis by death effecter domain recruiting domain binding peptide aptamer

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2006
FLASH protein is a component of death-inducing signaling complex and might be involved in death receptor-mediated extrinsic apoptosis. Here we developed the peptide aptamer against death effecter domain recruiting domain (DRD) of FLASH protein and showed that the peptide bound to FLASH protein in vitro.

Soluble Extracellular Domain of Death Receptor 5 Inhibits TRAIL-Induced Apoptosis by Disrupting Receptor–Receptor Interactions

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2017
Dysregulation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor signaling is a key feature of various inflammatory disorders. Current treatments for TNF-related diseases function either by sequestering ligand or blocking ligand-receptor interactions, which can cause dangerous side effects by inhibiting the receptors that are not involved in the disease condition.

The role of neurotransmission and the Chopper domain in p75 neurotrophin receptor death signaling

2004
The role of p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) in mediating cell death is now well characterized, however, it is only recently that details of the death signaling pathway have become clearer. This review focuses on the importance of the juxtamembrane Chopper domain region of p75NTR in this process.

Heterologous Production of Death Ligands’ and Death Receptors’ Extracellular Domains: Structural Features and Efficient Systems

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2012
The extracellular domains of death ligands and those of death receptors are closely related to many serious human diseases through the initiation of apoptosis. Recombinant production of the extracellular domains has been investigated due to demand for a large amount of purified samples, which are a prerequisite for their biochemical characterization ...

Death domain receptors and their role in cell demise.

Journal of interferon & cytokine research : the official journal of the International Society for Interferon and Cytokine Research, 1998
Apoptotic signals are transduced by five death domain-containing receptors--TNFR1, Fas, DR3, DR4, and DR5--by binding to their ligands. The intracellular portion of all these receptors contains a region, approximately 80 amino acids long, referred to as the "death domain" (DD).

PLAIDD,a Type II Death Domain Protein that Interacts with p75 Neurotrophin Receptor

NeuroMolecular Medicine, 2002
We describe the cloning and characterization of a rat single transmembrane protein that is homologous to the common neurotrophin receptor p75NTR in its death domain and the transmembrane region but dissimilar outside these regions. We have dubbed this protein PLAIDD, for p75-like apoptosis-inducing death domain protein.

[The primary study on a novel protein binding to the death domain of the death receptor 4].

Zhongguo yi xue ke xue yuan xue bao. Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae, 2004
To clone and identify novel proteins binding to the death domain of the death receptor 4 (DR4).The yeast two-hybrid system was used for this study. Automatic sequencing was carried out for DNA sequencing. The sequence homology and the functional domains were analyzed by BLAST and the ScanProsite Tool softwares, respectively.

Induction of cell death by myristylated death domain of p55 TNF receptor is not abolished by Iprcg-like point mutation in death domain.

Journal of inflammation, 1997
We transiently expressed the intracellular domains of p55 TNF receptor (TNFR1) as either a cytosolic- or a membrane-associated form and examined their effects on the endogenous receptor-mediated gene expression as well as on cell viability. We found that gene expression as measured by luciferase activity under NF-kappa B-controlling elements was ...
