An antagonist decoy receptor and a death domain-containing receptor for TRAILG Pan
Department of Pathology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI, 48109, USA
Science 277:815-8. 1997..Another death domain-containing receptor for TRAIL (designated as death receptor-5), which preferentially engaged a FLICE (caspase-8)-related death protease, was also identified...
IL-17s adopt a cystine knot fold: structure and activity of a novel cytokine, IL-17F, and implications for receptor bindingS G Hymowitz
Department of Protein Engineering, Genentech, Inc, 1 DNA Way, South San Francisco, CA 94080, USA
EMBO J 20:5332-41. 2001..Remarkably, this cavity is located in precisely the same position where nerve growth factor binds its high affinity receptor, TrkA, suggesting further parallels between IL-17s and neurotrophins with respect to receptor recognition...

Department of Pathology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294, USA
J Biol Chem 275:1233-40. 2000..The data indicate that gp160-enhanced apoptosis is dependent upon calmodulin up-regulation, involves the activation of caspase 3, and requires calmodulin binding to the C-terminal binding domain of gp160...
UCP4, a novel brain-specific mitochondrial protein that reduces membrane potential in mammalian cellsW Mao
