Abstract. Apoptosis is a process of cell suicide, the mechanisms of which are encoded in the genomes of all higher eukaryotes. The mechanisms involved in apoptosis suggest that the process is based on a viral defense originally developed in primitive multicelled eukaryotes and that the fundamental execution platform of the process involves 1 ...

Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins and apoptosis [PDF]
Apoptosis is a physiological cell death process that plays a critical role in development, homeostasis, and immune defense of multicellular animals. Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) constitute a family of proteins that possess between one and three baculovirus IAP repeats.

Introduction to Apoptosis [PDF]
Kerr and colleagues (II) coined the term" apoptosis" to designate a particular form of cell death distinct from necrosis. The salient features of apoptosis, which Kerr defined in histopathologic terms, were the breakup of individual cells into smaller, often round or ovoid cytoplasmic fragments containing pyknotic nuclear debris, called" apoptotic ...

Regulation of Apoptosis by Inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAPs) [PDF]
Inhibitors of Apoptosis (IAPs) are a family of proteins with various biological functions including regulation of innate immunity and inflammation, cell proliferation, cell migration and apoptosis. They are characterized by the presence of at least one N-terminal baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain involved in protein-protein interaction.

Smac mimetic compounds (SMCs) are anti-cancer drugs that antagonize Inhibitor of Apoptosis proteins, which consequently sensitize cancer cells to death in the presence of proinflammatory ligands such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). SMCs synergize

Recreating the Bone Marrow Microenvironment to Model Leukemic Stem Cell Quiescence
The main challenge in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is relapse, as it has no good treatment options and 90% of relapsed patients die as a result.

Within the era of molecularly targeted anticancer agents, it has become increasingly important to provide proof of mechanism as early on as possible in the drug development cycle, especially in the clinic. Selective activation of apoptosis is often cited as one of the major goals of cancer chemotherapy.

Glutathione and apoptosis [PDF]
Apoptosis or programmed cell death represents a physiologically conserved mechanism of cell death that is pivotal in normal development and tissue homeostasis in all organisms. As a key modulator of cell functions, the most abundant non-protein thiol, glutathione (GSH), has important roles in cellular defense against oxidant aggression, redox ...

The multi-subunit homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting (HOPS) membrane-tethering complex is required for autophagosome-lysosome fusion in mammals, yet reconstituting the mammalian HOPS complex remains a challenge.
