If so, it may be possible to develop drugs that would ease the symptoms of some diseases by binding to the p55 death domain, and so prevent receptors from interacting with one another. (newscientist.com)
Under normal circumstances, cells must have some way of preventing the death domains of neighbouring receptors from coming together. (newscientist.com)
The researchers knew that the death domain of the receptor was responsible, because the same thing happened if they inserted only the sequence that codes for this part of the molecule. (newscientist.com)
