Abstract

Cell death is critical to the normal functioning of multi-cellular organisms, playing a central role in development, immunity, inflammation, and cancer progression. Two cell death mechanisms, apoptosis and necroptosis, are dependent on the formation of distinct multi-protein complexes including the DISC, Apoptosome, Piddosome and Necrosome following the induction of cell death by specific stimuli. The role of several of these key multi-protein signalling platforms, namely the DISC, TNFR1 complex I/II, the Necrosome and Ripoptosome, in mediating these pathways will be discussed, as well as the open questions and potential therapeutic benefits of understanding their underlying mechanisms.

  • Death receptor ligation generally allows assembly of a dynamic multiprotein complex at the intracellular tail (DISC, complex I, complex II) that regulates CASP8 (or CASP10) activation.

    “As a general rule, death receptor ligation allows for the assembly of a dynamic multiprotein complex at the intracellular tail of the receptor, such as so-called “death-inducing signaling complex” (DISC), “complex I”, and “complex II”, which operate as molecular platforms to regulate the activation and functions of CASP8 (or CASP10, in a limited number of settings) [274–276].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
