Abstract excerpt
Fas ligand (FasL) induces apoptosis through its cell surface receptor Fas. T lymphocytes and natural killer cells sort newly synthesised FasL to secretory lysosomes but, in cell types with conventional lysosomes, FasL appears directly on the plasma membrane. Here, we define a proline-rich domain (PRD) in the cytoplasmic tail of FasL that is responsible for sorting FasL to secretory lysosomes. Deletion of this PRD...
