Abstract excerpt
Death effector domains (DEDs) are protein-protein interaction domains found in the death inducing signaling complex (DISC). Performing a structure-based alignment of all DED sequences we identified a region of high diversity in alpha-helix 3 and propose a classification of DEDs into class I DEDs typically containing a stretch of basic residues in the alpha-helix 3 region whereas DEDs of class II do not....
