FADD (Fas-associated death domain) and TRADD (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1-associated death domain) proteins are important regulators of cell fate in mammalian cells. They are both involved in death receptors mediated signaling pathways and have been linked to the Toll-like receptor family and innate immunity. Here we identify and characterize by database search analysis, mutagenesis and calmodulin (CaM) pull-down assays a calcium-dependent CaM binding site in the α-helices 1-2 of TRADD death domain. We also show that oxidation of CaM methionines drastically reduces CaM affinity for FADD and TRADD suggesting that oxidation might regulate CaM-FADD and CaM-TRADD interactions. Finally, using Met-to-Leu CaM mutants and binding assays we show that both the N- and C-terminal domains of CaM are important for binding.
FADD(Fas相关死亡结构域)和TRADD(肿瘤坏死因子受体1相关死亡结构域)蛋白是哺乳动物细胞中细胞命运的重要调节因子。它们都参与死亡受体介导的信号通路,并与Toll样受体家族和先天免疫相关。在这里,我们通过数据库搜索分析、诱变和钙调蛋白(CaM)下拉实验,在TRADD死亡结构域的α螺旋1-2中鉴定并表征了一个钙依赖性CaM结合位点。我们还表明,CaM甲硫氨酸的氧化会大幅降低CaM对FADD和TRADD的亲和力,这表明氧化可能调节CaM-FADD和CaM-TRADD的相互作用。最后,使用甲硫氨酸到亮氨酸的CaM突变体和结合实验,我们表明CaM的N端和C端结构域对结合都很重要。
