Abstract

Upon stimulation, CD95 (APO-1/Fas) recruits the adapter molecule FADD/MORT1, procaspase-8, and the cellular FLICE-inhibitory proteins (c-FLIP) into the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). According to the induced proximity model, procaspase-8 is activated in the DISC in an autoproteolytic manner by two subsequent cleavage steps. c-FLIP proteins exist as a long (c-FLIP(L)) and a short (c-FLIP(S)) splice variant, both of them capable of protecting cells from death receptor-mediated apoptosis. In stably transfected BJAB cells, both c-FLIP(S) and c-FLIP(L) block procaspase-8 activation at the DISC. However, cleavage is blocked at different steps. c-FLIP(L) allows the first cleavage step of procaspase-8, leading to the generation of the p10 subunit. In contrast, c-FLIP(S) completely inhibits cleavage of procaspase-8. Interestingly, p43-c-FLIP(L) lacking the p12 subunit also prevents cleavage of procaspase-8. In contrast, a nonprocessable mutant of c-FLIP(L) allows the first cleavage of procaspase-8. In conclusion, both c-FLIP proteins prevent caspase-8 activation at different levels of procaspase-8 processing at the DISC. Our results indicate that c-FLIP(L) induces a conformation of procaspase-8 that allows partial but not complete proteolytical processing, whereas in contrast c-FLIP(S) even prevents partial procaspase-8 activation at the DISC.

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.
