Structure of the TRAIL-DR5 complex reveals mechanisms conferring specificity in apoptotic initiation.
TRAIL, an apoptosis inducing ligand, has at least four cell surface receptors including the death receptor DR5. Here we report the crystal structure at 2.2 A resolution of a complex between TRAIL and the extracellular region of DR5. TRAIL forms a central homotrimer around which three DR5 molecules b...
