A novel receptor for Apo2L/TRAIL contains a truncated death domain [PDF]

Current Biology, 1997
Apo2 ligand (Apo2L [1], also called TRAIL for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand [2]) belongs to the TNF family and activates apoptosis in tumor cells. Three closely related receptors bind Apo2L: DR4 and DR5, which contain cytoplasmic death domains and signal apoptosis, and DcR1, a decoy receptor that lacks a cytoplasmic tail

The Xenopus FcR family demonstrates continually high diversification of paired receptors in vertebrate evolution

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Recent studies have revealed an unexpected diversity of domain architecture among FcR-like receptors that presumably fulfill regulatory functions in the immune system.

Chopper, a New Death Domain of the p75 Neurotrophin Receptor That Mediates Rapid Neuronal Cell Death [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000
The cytoplasmic juxtamembrane region of the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75(NTR)) has been found to be necessary and sufficient to initiate neural cell death. The region was named "Chopper" to distinguish it from CD95-like death domains. A 29-amino acid peptide corresponding to the Chopper region induced caspase- and calpain-mediated death in a variety ...

ER-mediated control for abundance, quality, and signaling of transmembrane immune receptors in plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Plants recognize a wide range of microbes with cell-surface and intracellular immune receptors. Transmembrane pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) initiate immune responses upon recognition of cognate ligands characteristic of microbes or aberrant ...

The helper NLR immune protein NRC3 mediates the hypersensitive cell death caused by the cell-surface receptor Cf-4.

PLoS Genetics, 2022
Cell surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) activate immune responses that can include the hypersensitive cell death. However, the pathways that link PRRs to the cell death response are poorly understood.

SorCS2 Controls Functional Expression of Amino Acid Transporter EAAT3 and Protects Neurons from Oxidative Stress and Epilepsy-Induced Pathology

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: VPS10P domain receptors emerge as central regulators of intracellular protein sorting in neurons with relevance for various brain pathologies. Here, we identified a role for the family member SorCS2 in protection of neurons from oxidative stress

Multiple domains in the C-terminus of NMDA receptor GluN2B subunit contribute to neuronal death following in vitro ischemia

Neurobiology of Disease, 2016
Global cerebral ischemia induces selective degeneration of specific subsets of neurons throughout the brain, particularly in the hippocampus and cortex. One of the major hallmarks of cerebral ischemia is excitotoxicity, characterized by overactivation of

Identification of the Calmodulin-Binding Domains of Fas Death Receptor

PLOS ONE, 2016
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated by binding of a Fas ligand to the ectodomain of the surface death receptor Fas protein. Subsequently, the intracellular death domain of Fas (FasDD) and that of the Fas-associated protein (FADD) interact to form the core of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), a crucial step for activation of caspases

The Roles of Coinhibitory Receptors in Pathogenesis of Human Retroviral Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Costimulatory and coinhibitory receptors play a key role in regulating immune responses to infection and cancer. Coinhibitory receptors include programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), and T cell ...

Evidence for a function of death-receptor-related, death-domain-containing proteins in anoikis [PDF]

Current Biology, 1999
Normal epithelial cells undergo apoptosis if integrinmediated matrix contacts are lost, in a process termed 'anoikis'. Anoikis prevents shed epithelial cells from colonizing elsewhere, and is thus essential for maintaining appropriate tissue organisation. Aberrant oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes can cause resistance to anoikis, thereby contributing
