and a phosphorylation cascade, resulting in cell survival
The two signaling pathways diverge at the level of the
TRADD protein, which contains both a DD and an N-
terminal domain that binds TNF receptor-associated
factor 2 (TRAF2). In the apoptosis pathway, TNF
receptor activation leads to assembly of a TRADD-

FADD complex that results in autocleavage of procaspas
8 through its interaction with the death effector domain
(DED) of FADD. Once caspase 8 (CASP8) is activated,
proteolytic cascade is initiated by the cleavage and
activation of caspase 3 (CASP3), the "executioner"
protease. TNF receptor signaling can also induce a cell
survival pathway through an adaptor complex consisting
of TRADD, TRAF2, and receptor interacting protein
(RIP) kinase, which leads to the phosphorylation and
activation of IkBa kinase (IKK). Phosphorylation of IKB
by IKK targets IkBa for degradation, which leads to
activation of the transcription factor NFKB. Once the
heterodimeric NFêB (p50/p65) transcription factor is
activated, it enters the nucleus and induces the expressio
of anti-apoptotic genes that inhibit caspase 8 and caspas
3 activation.
