Interaction Information:

Comment In both control and mutant SOD1 motoneurons, exogenous NO (addition of Detanonoate) leads to up-regulation of FasL. As a reporter of Fas activation, phophorylation of p38 kinase was quantified. However, only in the presence of G93A or G85R mutant forms of SOD1 does this mechanism lead to a Fas-dependent increase in phosphorylation of p38 kinase.

Comment In mutant SOD1G93A and SOD1G85R, but not in control motoneurons, the upregulation of FasL results in activation of Fas, leading through Daxx to phosphorylation of p38 and further NO synthesis. This Fas/NO feedback amplification loop is required for motoneuron death in vitro.
