Death domain signaling in Fas and CBM signalosome pathways. (A) Domain architecture of DISC components including receptor Fas, adaptor FADD, and effector caspase-8. (B) Crystal structure of the Fas DD-FADD DD complex (PDB ID: 3OQ9) displays helical assembly similar to the MyD88-IRAK4-IRAK2 DD complex described above. (C) Cryo-EM structure of caspase-8 tDEDs (PDB ID: 5L08) shows helical assembly into filaments. (D) Extensive inter-subunit interactions in caspase-8 tDED filaments. (E) Domain architecture of CBM signalosome components and a nucleated polymerization model of CARMA1 CARD-BCL10 CARD filaments
