Caspase-9 is a member of caspase family of cysteine proteases that have been implicated in apoptosis and cytokine processing. When cells receive apoptotic stimuli, mitochondria releases cytochrome c which then binds to Apaf-1, the mammalian Ced-4 ...

Caspase-9: structure, mechanisms and clinical application
As the most intensively studied initiator caspase, caspase-9 is a key player in the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway which is involved in various stimuli, including chemotherapies, stress agents and radiation.

Oncogene-dependent apoptosis is mediated by caspase-9 [PDF]
Understanding how oncogenic transformation sensitizes cells to apoptosis may provide a strategy to kill tumor cells selectively. We previously developed a cell-free system that recapitulates oncogene dependent apoptosis as reflected by activation of ...

A Rapamycin-Activated Caspase 9-Based Suicide Gene [PDF]
Engineered T cell therapies show considerable promise in the treatment of refractory malignancies. Given the ability of engineered T cells to engraft and persist for prolonged periods along with unpredicted toxicities, incorporation of a suicide gene to ...

Caspase-9 and APAF-1 form an active holoenzyme [PDF]
Autocatalytic activation of initiator caspases is the link between pro-apoptotic signals and the destruction machinery of apoptosis. Activation of caspase-9, which mediates oncogene and drug-induced apoptosis, requires binding to the protein APAF-1.

Caspase-9 swings both ways in the apoptosome [PDF]
For nearly 2 decades, investigators have debated whether cysteinyl-aspartate-specific protease 9 (caspase-9) is activated within the apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) apoptosome through proximity-induced homodimerization or through ...

A Complex between Atg7 and Caspase-9 [PDF]
Background: Several cross-talk mechanisms between autophagy and apoptosis have been identified, where the same protein plays a central role in the opposing processes. Results: This study identified a novel cross-talk mechanism involving an Atg7·caspase-9
