Fas is a cell-surface receptor molecule that relays apoptotic signals into cells.
When Fas is activated by the binding of its ligand, the proteolytic protein caspase-8 is recruited to a signaling complex known as DISC by binding to a Fas-associated adapter protein.
A new protein, FLASH, contains a motif with oligomerizing activity whose sequence is similar to that of the Caenorhabditis elegans protein CED-4, and another domain (DRD domain) that interacts with a death-effector domain in caspase-8 or in the adapter protein.
FLASH is likely a component of the DISC signaling complex and is necessary for the activation of caspase-8 in Fas-mediated apoptosis.
