A novel protein domain required for apoptosis. Mutational analysis of human Fas antigen

Open access

Abstract

The Fas antigen is a cell surface protein that can mediate apoptosis and that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. Murine fibroblast L929 cells or T-cell lymphoma WR19L cells expressing the human Fas antigen were killed within 4-6 h by anti-human Fas antibody in a concentration-dependent manner. Human Fas antigen cDNAs with various mutations in the cytoplasmic region were constructed and expressed in L929 cells. A deletion of 15 amino acids from the C terminus of the Fas antigen enhanced the Fas antibody-induced killing activity, whereas a further deletion abolished its activity. This suggests the presence of an inhibitory as well as a signal-transducing domain in the cytoplasmic region of the Fas antigen. A 68-amino acid portion of the signal-transducing domain significantly conserved in the Fas antigen as well as in the type I tumor necrosis factor receptor was considered to be the novel protein domain required for apoptotic signal transduction.

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.
