BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) receptors play an important role in regulating apoptosis. Recently, it was shown that the expression of TRAIL-R2, also known as KILLER, Trick or DR5, can be induced by either DNA damage or overexpression of a wild-type p53 transgene, suggesting a role for p53 in the death-signaling pathway. Furthermore, mutations in the death domain of...
