Gene Information

human ... FADD(8772)

General description

FAS-associated death domain protein (UniProt: Q13158; also known as FAS-associating death domain-containing protein, Growth-inhibiting gene 3 protein, Mediator of receptor induced toxicity, Protein FADD) is encoded by the FADD (also known as MORT1, GIG3) gene (Gene ID: 8772) in human. FADD is an apoptotic adaptor molecule that bridges death receptor signaling to the caspase cascade. It is expressed in a wide variety of tissues, except for peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes. FADD contains a death domain at its C-terminus and a death effector domain (DED) at its N-terminal. The death domain is responsible for FADD binding to the activated trimerized Fas receptor. FADD recruits procaspase-8 through its N-terminal DED, which is then activated following the cleavage of pro domain. The death inducing signaling complex (DISC) formed by Fas receptor, FADD, and caspase-8 is essential in triggering apoptotic events in cells. Human FADD is phosphorylated mainly at Ser194. Defects in FADD gene have been linked to recurrent infections, hepatic dysfunction, and cardiovascular malformations. These subjects display high circulating levels of CD4(-) and CD8(-) cells and elevated levels of IL-10.

Apo2 ligand/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Apo2L/TRAIL) mainly activates programmed cell death through caspases. By contrast, TNF primarily induces gene transcription through the inhibitor of kappaB kinase (IKK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways. Apo2L/TRAIL

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a well-known apoptosis inducer and a potential anticancer agent. When caspases and inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are inhibited, TRAIL induces necroptosis. Molecular mechanisms of necroptosis rely on kinase activation, and on the

MADD plays an essential role in cancer cell survival. Abrogation of endogenous MADD expression results in significant spontaneous apoptosis and enhanced susceptibility to tumor necrosis factor alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis. However, the regulation of MADD function is largely unknown.

While PCTAIRE1/PCTK1/Cdk16 is overexpressed in malignant cells and is crucial in tumorigenesis, its function in apoptosis remains unclear. Here we investigated the role of PCTAIRE1 in apoptosis, especially in the extrinsic cell death pathway. Gene-knockdown of PCTAIRE1 sensitized prostate cancer
