Abstract
The Fas receptor is a representative death receptor, and the Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) is a crucial adapter protein needed to support the Fas receptor's activity. The Fas-FADD interactions constitute an important signaling pathway that ultimately induces apoptosis or programmed cell death in biological systems. The interactions responsible for this cell-death process are governed by the binding process of the Fas ligand to the Fas, followed by the caspase cascade activation. Using a computational approach, the present communication explores certain essential structural aspects of the Fas-FADD death domains and their interfacial interactions.
