Abstract excerpt
Ligand binding to tumor necrosis factor receptor-I (TNFRI) can promote cell survival or activate the apoptotic caspase cascade. Cytoplasmic interaction of TNFRI with TRAF2 and RIP allows for the activation of JNK and NFkappaB pathways. Alternatively, a carboxy terminal death domain protein interaction motif can recruit TRADD, which then recruits FADD/MORT1, and finally procaspase 8. Aggregation of these...
