Popis: | Significance Cell death-inducing DFF45-like effector (CIDE) domains, initially identified in apoptotic nucleases, form a highly conserved family with diverse functions ranging from cell death to lipid homeostasis and synaptic regulation. Through structural determination of two CIDE family proteins, Drep2 and Drep4, we found that CIDE domains can form helical oligomers. Our results reveal that such higher-order structures not only are conserved in the CIDE family, but also are critically important for both DNA fragmentation and lipid droplet fusion. Therefore, our findings identify the CIDE domain as a scaffolding component for higher-order structure assembly. Our results expand the importance of higher-order structures from the established field of immune signaling to broader biological functions. |
