Abstract
Apoptosis can be induced by an extrinsic pathway involving the ligand-mediated activation of death receptors such as tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR-1). TNFR-1-associated death domain (TRADD) protein is an adapter molecule that bridges the interaction between TNFR-1 and receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIP1). However, the molecular mechanism of the complex formation of these proteins has not yet been identified. Here, the binding among TNFR-1, TRADD, and RIP1 was identified using a GST pull-down assay and Biacore biosensor experiment. This study showed that structural characterization and formation of the death-signaling complex could be predicted using TNFR-1, TRADD, and RIP1. In addition, we found that the structure-based mutations of TNFR-1 (P367A and P368A), TRADD (F266A), and RIP1 (M637A and R638A) disrupted formation of the death domain (DD) complex and prevented stable interactions among those DDs.
