Abstract excerpt
Death receptors in the TNF receptor superfamily signal for apoptosis via the ordered recruitment of FADD and caspase-8 to a death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). However, the nature of the protein-protein interactions in the signaling complex is not well defined. Here we show that FADD self-associates through a conserved RXDLL motif in the death effector domain (DED). Despite exhibiting similar binding to both...
