Gene Description

TNFRSF10A, also called DR4 or TRAIL receptor 1, is a type I plasma-membrane TNF receptor superfamily member with extracellular cysteine-rich TRAIL-binding domains and an intracellular death domain. Binding of TNFSF10/TRAIL to cell-surface TNFRSF10A promotes receptor oligomerization in plasma-membrane rafts and assembly of a FADD- and CASP8/CASP10-containing death-inducing signaling complex that initiates TRAIL-activated extrinsic apoptosis. DR4 trafficking and raft partitioning are regulated by ARAP1 and ZDHHC3/GODZ, decoy TRAIL receptors can restrain DR4 signaling, and ligand-bound DR4 can also produce contextual NF-kappaB outputs.

MODIFY
Summary: The CASP8/protease-binding row reflects DISC assembly during TRAIL signaling rather than a direct protease-binding activity of TNFRSF10A.
Reason: FADD is the adaptor that recruits pro-caspase-8 to ligand-bound TRAIL receptors, so this co-complex edge should be narrowed to the TRAIL-activated apoptotic signaling pathway.

Summary: The death receptor activity row matches the established TNFRSF10A/DR4 role but can be stated with the TRAIL-specific receptor term.
Reason: TNFRSF10A is the TRAIL-binding death receptor whose cytoplasmic death domain nucleates FADD- and CASP8-containing DISC assembly; GO:0036463 captures that receptor specificity better than the parent death receptor term.

Summary: The monocyte differentiation paper does not support retaining a generic TNFRSF10A-CASP8 protein-binding function.

Summary: GODZ/ZDHHC3-dependent palmitoylation places DR4 in a plasma-membrane raft signaling pool.
Reason: Plasma membrane raft is more precise than the generic membrane raft term for TRAIL receptor death signaling.
Proposed replacements: plasma membrane raft

Summary: DR4 palmitoylation is required for raft localization during TRAIL signaling.
Reason: Use plasma membrane raft to capture the receptor-proximal surface microdomain rather than a generic membrane raft.

MODIFY
Summary: The automated membrane-raft mapping is consistent with DR4 palmitoylation-dependent surface raft localization.
Reason: Plasma membrane raft is the more precise site for TNFRSF10A-mediated TRAIL signaling.

MODIFY
Summary: The TRAIL binding row captures ligand recognition but can be folded into the complete TRAIL receptor activity term.
Reason: GO:0036463 includes binding the TNFSF10/TRAIL ligand and signaling through the death-receptor cytoplasmic domain, making it a better molecular-function term for TNFRSF10A/DR4.
Proposed replacements: TRAIL receptor activity

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: The ARBA mechanical-stimulus row is not part of core TNFRSF10A biology.
Reason: The linked experimental row is only expression-pattern evidence from a prostate-cancer BAD study and should not be propagated as a DR4 apoptotic function.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: This IEP row only reports TNFRSF10A expression changes in a mechanical-stress experiment.
Reason: Expression change under cyclic stretch does not show that DR4 performs the cellular response to mechanical stimulus.

MODIFY
Summary: The broad extrinsic apoptotic signaling row can be tightened to the TRAIL branch.
Reason: TNFRSF10A is a TRAIL receptor; GO:0036462 is the specific extrinsic pathway initiated by DR4 ligand binding.

DJ-1 inhibits TRAIL-induced apoptosis by blocking pro-caspase-8 recruitment to FADD.

Core Functions

Cell-surface TNFRSF10A/DR4 binds TNFSF10/TRAIL and oligomerizes in plasma-membrane rafts to recruit FADD and initiator caspases to the TRAIL death-inducing signaling complex.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should InterPro2GO and ARBA mappings for TNFRSF10A and TNFRSF10B use GO:0036463 TRAIL receptor activity rather than the broader death receptor activity or the ligand-binding subactivity alone?

Q: Should Reactome-to-GOA restrict TNFRSF10A cellular-component exports to ligand-bound DR4/DISC events and avoid DR5-only CASP8 events, c-FLIP/CASP8 downstream checkpoints, and TP53 transcriptional events?
