Abstract

Members of the tumour-necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family that contain an intracellular death domain initiate signalling by recruiting cytoplasmic death domain adapter proteins. Edar is a death domain protein of the TNFR family that is required for the development of hair, teeth and other ectodermal derivatives. Mutations in Edar-or its ligand, Eda-cause hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in humans and mice. This disorder is characterized by sparse hair, a lack of sweat glands and malformation of teeth. Here we report the identification of a death domain adapter encoded by the mouse crinkled locus. The crinkled mutant has an hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia phenotype identical to that of the edar (downless) and eda (Tabby) mutants. This adapter, which we have called Edaradd (for Edar-associated death domain), interacts with the death domain of Edar and links the receptor to downstream signalling pathways. We also identify a missense mutation in its human orthologue, EDARADD, that is present in a family affected with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Our findings show that the death receptor/adapter signalling mechanism is conserved in developmental, as well as apoptotic, signalling.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Ectodysplasin binds to its receptor EDAR, which recruits the adapter protein EDARADD to transduce a signal and activate NF-kB via the IKK complex.

    “Ectodysplasin binds to its receptor EDAR which recruits the adapter protein EDARADD to transduce a signal and activate NF-kB via the IKK complex [Headon et al., 2001].”

  • The EDARADD gene (1q42.2-q43), which determines the adaptor for the EDAR receptor, may also cause hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia of autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance patterns.

    “The EDARADD gene (1q42.2-q43)which determines the adaptor for the EDAR receptor may also cause hypohidrotic ED of the AR [Headon et al., 2001] and AD [Bal et al., 2007] inheritance patterns.”

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.
