Expression of Tas1 taste receptors in mammalian spermatozoa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: During their transit through the female genital tract, sperm have to recognize and discriminate numerous chemical compounds. However, our current knowledge of the molecular identity of appropriate chemosensory receptor proteins in sperm is ...

Assembly of Oligomeric Death Domain Complexes during Toll Receptor Signaling [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
The Drosophila Toll receptor is activated by the endogenous protein ligand Spätzle in response to microbial stimuli in immunity and spatial cues during embryonic development. Downstream signaling is mediated by the adaptor proteins Tube, the kinase Pelle, and the Drosophila homologue of myeloid differentiation primary response protein (dMyD88). Here we

N-terminal and C-terminal domains of calmodulin mediate FADD and TRADD interaction.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
FADD (Fas-associated death domain) and TRADD (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1-associated death domain) proteins are important regulators of cell fate in mammalian cells. They are both involved in death receptors mediated signaling pathways and have been

The transmembrane domains of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptors 1 and 2 co-regulate apoptotic signaling capacity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family that exerts its apoptotic activity in human cells by binding to two transmembrane receptors, TRAILR1 and TRAILR2.

The Features of Checkpoint Receptor—Ligand Interaction in Cancer and the Therapeutic Effectiveness of Their Inhibition

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
To date, certain problems have been identified in cancer immunotherapy using the inhibition of immune checkpoints (ICs). Despite the excellent effect of cancer therapy in some cases when blocking the PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) ligand and the ...

A Prosurvival Function for the p75 Receptor Death Domain Mediated via the Caspase Recruitment Domain Receptor-Interacting Protein 2 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2001
In addition to promoting cell survival, neurotrophins also can elicit apoptosis in restricted cell types. Recent results indicate that nerve growth factor (NGF) can induce Schwann cell death via engagement of the p75 neurotrophin receptor. Here we describe a novel interaction between the p75 receptor and receptor-interacting protein 2, RIP2 (RICK ...

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

open access: yesBMC 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

open access: yesPLoS 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.
