T1  - Die Bedeutung von Todesdomäne Adapterproteinen für die Signaltransduktion des TNFR1 und der TRAIL Todesrezeptoren
T1  - The meaning of death domain adaptor proteins in the signal transduction of TNFR1 and TRAIL death receptors
N2  - Die NFκB-Signalwege, Apoptose und Nekroptose sind essentielle Prozesse in der Immunantwort. Außerdem sind diese Signalwege Teil der Regulation von Zelldifferenzierung, -proliferation, -tod und Entzündungsreaktionen. Dabei wird zuerst der Rezeptor (TNFR1 oder TRAILR 1/2) aktiviert, die rekrutierten DD-Adapterproteine TRADD, FADD und RIPK1 leiten dann die entsprechende Signalkaskade weiter und bestimmen durch ihre Zusammenwirkung, ob der NFκB-Signalweg, Apoptose oder Nekroptose induziert wird.
TNFR1 und TRAILR 1/2 benötigen die DD-Adapterproteine TRADD, FADD und RIPK1 für die Zelltodinduktion, deren konkrete Bedeutung in Bezug auf Rezeptor-Spezifität, Zusammenwirken und Relevanz allerdings noch unklar ist. Um das Zusammenspiel dieser Proteine besser zu verstehen, wurden in dieser Arbeit Nekroptose-kompetente RIPK3-exprimierende HeLa-Zellen verwendet, bei denen die DD-Adapterproteine FADD, TRADD und RIPK1 einzeln oder in Kombination von zweien ausgeknockt wurden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass RIPK1 essentiell für die TNFR1- und TRAILR 1/2-vermittelte Nekroptose-Induktion ist, doch RIPK1 alleine, d.h. ohne FADD- oder TRADD-Mitbeteiligung, nur bei der TNFR1-Nekroptose-Induktion ausreicht. Wiederum inhibiert TRADD die TNFR1- und TRAILR 1/2-induzierte Nekroptose. RIPK1 und TRADD sind aber unverzichtbar für die NFκB-Aktivierung durch TNFR1 oder TRAILR 1/2 und spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei TNFR1-induzierter Apoptose. Andererseits ist FADD alleine ausreichend für die TRAILR 1/2-bezogene Caspase-8 Aktivierung. Zudem ist FADD notwendig für die TRAIL-induzierte NFκB-Signalaktivierung. In Abwesenheit von FADD und TRADD vermittelt RIPK1 die TNF-induzierte Caspase-8 Aktivierung. FADD wird für die TRAIL-induzierte Nekroptose benötigt, aber gegenläufig wirkt die TNF-induzierte Nektroptose in einer Caspase-8 abhängigen und unabhängigen Weise. Zudem sensitiviert TWEAK die TNF- und TRAIL-induzierte Nekroptose.
Zusammenfassend wurde in dieser Arbeit die Auswirkung von TNFR1 und TRAILR 1/2 auf die Aktivierung der unterschiedlichen Signalkaskaden untersucht. Des Weiteren wurde gezeigt, in welcher Weise sich das Zusammenspiel von TRADD, FADD und RIPK1 auf die Induktion von NFκB, Apoptose und Nekroptose auswirkt.
N2  - The NFκB-pathways, apoptosis and necroptosis are basic components of the immune response. Furthermore, they are involved in the regulation of cell differentiation, proliferation, cell death and inflammation. After the receptor (TNFR1 or TRAILR1/2) is activated, the recruited DD-adapter proteins TRADD, FADD and RIPK1 transmit the signal thereby determining whether NFκB-pathways, apoptosis and necroptosis are induced.
TNFR1 and TRAIL 1/2 depend on the DD-adapter proteins TRADD, FADD and RIPK1 for cell death induction and inflammatory signaling. However, the precise role of these molecules is poorly understood, especially with respect to receptor-specific, cooperative and redundant activities. In order to elucidate the interdependencies of these proteins, variants of the necroptosis competent RIPK3-expressing HeLa transfectant lacking expression of TRADD, RIPK1 and FADD or any combination of two of these molecules were generated and evaluated with respect to TNF- and TRAIL-induced signaling. It turned out that RIPK1 is essential for necroptosis induction by TNFR1 and TRAILR 1/2, RIPK1 alone, in the absence of FADD and TRADD, is only sufficient for the induction of TNFR1 dependent necroptosis. Otherwise, TRADD inhibits TNFR1- and TRAILR 1/2-induced necroptosis. RIPK1 and TRADD are indispensable for TNFR1- and TRAILR 1/2-induced NFκB activation and play a decisive role in TNFR1-induced apoptosis. On the contrary, FADD alone is enough for TRAILR 1/2-induced caspase-8 activation. Furthermore, FADD is required for TRAIL-induced NFκB activation. In absence of FADD and TRADD, RIPK1 alone mediates TNF-induced caspase-8 activation. FADD is necessary for TRAIL-induced necroptosis, but antagonizes TNF-induced necroptosis in a caspase-8 dependent and independent manner. Besides TWEAK sensitizes for both a TNF- and TRAIL-induced necroptosis.
To summarize, in the scope of this work, we were able to analyze the effects of TNFR1 and TRAIL 1/2 on the activation of the respective signaling cascades. Moreover, we showed how the interaction of TRADD, FADD and RIPK1 influence the activation of NFκB, apoptosis and necroptosis.

T1  - Understanding extinction debts: spatio-temporal scales, mechanisms and a roadmap for future research
JF  - Ecography
N2  - Extinction debt refers to delayed species extinctions expected as a consequence of ecosystem perturbation. Quantifying such extinctions and investigating long‐term consequences of perturbations has proven challenging, because perturbations are not isolated and occur across various spatial and temporal scales, from local habitat losses to global warming. Additionally, the relative importance of eco‐evolutionary processes varies across scales, because levels of ecological organization, i.e. individuals, (meta)populations and (meta)communities, respond hierarchically to perturbations. To summarize our current knowledge of the scales and mechanisms influencing extinction debts, we reviewed recent empirical, theoretical and methodological studies addressing either the spatio–temporal scales of extinction debts or the eco‐evolutionary mechanisms delaying extinctions. Extinction debts were detected across a range of ecosystems and taxonomic groups, with estimates ranging from 9 to 90% of current species richness. The duration over which debts have been sustained varies from 5 to 570 yr, and projections of the total period required to settle a debt can extend to 1000 yr. Reported causes of delayed extinctions are 1) life‐history traits that prolong individual survival, and 2) population and metapopulation dynamics that maintain populations under deteriorated conditions. Other potential factors that may extend survival time such as microevolutionary dynamics, or delayed extinctions of interaction partners, have rarely been analyzed. Therefore, we propose a roadmap for future research with three key avenues: 1) the microevolutionary dynamics of extinction processes, 2) the disjunctive loss of interacting species and 3) the impact of multiple regimes of perturbation on the payment of debts. For their ability to integrate processes occurring at different levels of ecological organization, we highlight mechanistic simulation models as tools to address these knowledge gaps and to deepen our understanding of extinction dynamics.
