Structure of the FAS/FADD death domain assemblyStructure of the FAS/FADD death domain assembly

Structural highlights 3oq9 is a 10 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens and Mus musculus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 6.8Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease TNR6_MOUSE Note=Defects in Fas are the cause of the lymphoproliferation phenotype (lpr). Lpr mice show lymphadenopathy and autoantibody production. Function TNR6_MOUSE Receptor for TNFSF6/FASLG. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both (By similarity).
