Crystal structure of human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein UL141 targeting the death receptor TRAIL-R2

Disease

[TR10B_HUMAN] Defects in TNFRSF10B may be a cause of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) [MIM:275355]; also known as squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Function

[TR10B_HUMAN] Receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TNFSF10/TRAIL. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Promotes the activation of NF-kappa-B. Essential for ER stress-induced apoptosis.[1]

About this Structure

4i9x is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens and Human herpesvirus 5 strain merlin. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
