DEDD2 Proteins and Enzymes

Apoptosis and inflammation are important cellular processes that are highly regulated through specific protein-protein interactions (PPI). Proteins involved in these signaling cascades often carry PPI domains belonging to the death-domain superfamily (reviewed in Kohl A and MG Grutter, 2004). These PPI domains include the death effector domain (DED), the death domain (DD), the caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD) and the pyrin domain (PYD). PPI domains are structurally related and ...
