Abstract

Presents research which examined the role of the pro-apoptotic protein CED-4 in the activation of apoptosis. Study of Caenorhabditis elegans; Mediation by protein-protein interaction; Induction of caspase activation and cell death; Oligomerization of CED-4; Mutations that abolished CED-4 oligomerization; Inhibition of this oligomerization.

Abstract

Finds that the Fas death receptor can activate the Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway through the receptor-associated protein Daxx. Daxx as found to activate the JNK kinase ASK1; Overexpression of a kinase-deficient ASK1 mutant as inhibiting Fas- and Daxx-induced apoptosis and JNK activation; Daxx-ASK1 connection as completing a signaling pathway from a cell surface death receptor to kinase cascades that modulate nuclear transcription factors; Conclusions.
