DEATH DOMAIN OF FAS-ASSOCIATED DEATH DOMAIN PROTEIN, RESIDUES 89-183
Overview
A signal of Fas-mediated apoptosis is transferred through an adaptor, protein Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) by interactions between, the death domains of Fas and FADD. To understand the signal transduction, mechanism of Fas-mediated apoptosis, we solved the solution structure of a, murine FADD death domain. It consists of six helices arranged in a similar, fold to the other death domains. The interactions between the death, domains of Fas and FADD analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis indicate, that charged residues in helices alpha2 and alpha3 are involved in death, domain interactions, and the interacting helices appear to interact in, anti-parallel pattern, alpha2 of FADD with alpha3 of Fas and vice versa.
