Abstract

We identified and cloned a novel human protein that contains FADD/Mort1 death effector domain homology regions, designated FLAME-1. FLAME-1, although most similar in structure to Mch4 and Mch5, does not possess caspase activity but can interact specifically with FADD, Mch4, and Mch5. Interestingly, FLAME-1 is recruited to the Fas receptor complex and can abrogate Fas/TNFR-induced apoptosis upon expression in FasL/tumor necrosis factor-sensitive MCF-7 cells, possibly by acting as a dominant-negative inhibitor. These findings identify a novel endogenous control point that regulates Fas/TNFR1-mediated apoptosis.
