Death domain similar to that found in Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-lymphoma-translocation gene 1 Death domain (DD) similar to that found in Malt1 (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-lymphoma-translocation gene 1). Malt1, together with Bcl10 (B-cell lymphoma 10), are the integral components of the CBM signalosome. They associate with CARD9 to form M-CBM (CBM complex in myeloid immune cells) and with CARMA1 to form L-CBM (CBM complex in lymphoid immune cells), to mediate activation of NF-kB and MAPK by ITAM-coupled receptors expressed on immune cells. In general, DDs are protein-protein interaction domains found in a variety of domain architectures. Their common feature is that they form homodimers by self-association or heterodimers by associating with other members of the DD superfamily including CARD (Caspase activation and recruitment domain), DED (Death Effector Domain), and PYRIN. They serve as adaptors in signaling pathways and can recruit other proteins into signaling complexes.
