Furthermore, it was shown that FADD ubiquitination induced by Makorin Ring Finger Protein 1 (MKRN1) E3 ligase leads to the proteasome-dependent degradation of FADD, and MKRN1 depletion in breast cancer cells accelerates TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced DISC formation and apoptosis (Lee et al., 2012). The gene discussed is MKRN1; the disease is breast carcinoma.
