Preferred Label : SODD/TNFR1 Signaling Pathway;
NCIt synonyms : SODD TNFR1 Signaling Pathway;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily contains several members
with homologous cytoplasmic domains known as death domains (DD). The intracellular
DD are important in initiating apoptosis and other signaling pathways following ligand
binding by the receptors. In the absence of ligand, DD-containing receptors are maintained
in an inactive state. TNFR1 contains a cytoplasmic DD required for signaling pathways
associated with apoptosis and NF-kB activation. Jiang et al. identified a widely expressed
60 kDa protein, named SODD (silencer of death domains), associated with the DD of
TNFR1 and DR3. Overexpression of SODD suppresses TNF-induced cell death and NF-kB
activation demonstrating its role as a negative regulatory protein for these signaling
pathways. TNF-induced receptor trimerization aggregates the DD of TNFR1 and recruits
the adapter protein TRADD. This in turn promotes the recruitment of the DD-containing
cytoplasmic proteins FADD, TRAF2, and RIP to form an active TNFR1 signaling complex.
In contrast, SODD acts as a silencer of TNFR1 signaling and does not interact with
TRADD, FADD, or RIP. It is associated with the DD of TNFR1 and maintains TNFR1 in
an inactive, monomeric state. TNF-induced aggregation of TNFR1 promotes the disruption
of the SODD-TNFR1 complex. SODD does not interact with the DD of other TNF receptor
superfamily members such as Fas, DR4, DR5, or TNFR2. SODD association with TNFR1 may
represent a general model for the prevention of spontaneous TNF signaling by other
DD-containing receptors. (This definition may be outdated - see the DesignNote.);
