Model integrating calcium mobilization into the Fas signaling pathway. Fas receptor stimulation causes rapid formation of the DISC complex, minimally comprising Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) and initiator caspases 8/10. Our results suggest a rapid activation of PLC-γ1, leading to IP3 generation and calcium release from IP3R channels (indicated in red). Calcium release from IP3R stores combined with increased mitochondrial permeability further amplify cytochrome c release. A temporally distinct chronic elevation of cytoplasmic calcium also occurs over the course of hours, mediated by cytochrome c binding to IP3R.
