Regulatory Mechanisms
Currently, the 29 receptors of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) can be categorized into three major groups:
The first group consists of receptors that contain a death domain (DD) in their cytoplasmic tail. Upon ligand binding, these receptors recruit intracellular adaptor proteins with DDs to form a death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), leading to caspase activation and the induction of apoptosis.
The second type of receptors contain one or more TRAF interaction motifs (TIMs) in the cytoplasmic domain. Activation of these receptors directly recruits members of the TRAF family, ultimately leading to the activation of key signaling pathways involved in cell survival, proliferation, and inflammation.
The third group comprises receptors lack functional intracellular signaling domains or motifs. Although these “decoy” receptors do not initiate intracellular signaling, they can competitively bind to ligands, thereby modulating the signaling of the first two groups by preventing ligand-receptor interactions
