Bottom-up reconstruction of functional Death Domain Signalosomes reveals a requirement for polymer stability and avidity

Mauriz A. Lichtenstein, Fakun Cao, Finn Lobnow…·Marcus J. Taylor

The paper constructs a synthetic signalosome using Death Domains and shows that its function depends on polymer stability and avidity, demonstrating these properties are tunable and not restricted to specific motifs.
