Inhibitor specificity of recombinant and endogenous caspase-9 [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 2002
Apoptosis triggered through the intrinsic pathway by radiation and anti-neoplastic drugs is initiated by the activation of caspase-9. To elucidate control mechanisms in this pathway we used a range of synthetic and natural reagents. The inhibitory potency of acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde ('Ac-DEVD-CHO'), benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp ...

Altered of apoptotic markers of both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways induced by hepatitis C virus infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Virology Journal, 2012
Background Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) has emerged as a leading cause of cirrhosis in the U.S. and across the world. To understand the role of apoptotic pathways in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we studied the mRNA and protein expression patterns of ...

Caspase 9 Promoter Polymorphisms (-1263G>A, -905T>G, -712C>T) in Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020
Introduction: Apoptosis has been involved in a number of pathological conditions including Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Caspases are important regulators and executioners in both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways.

Regulation of the Apaf-1–caspase-9 apoptosome [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2010
Apoptosis is probably not the only form of cell death, but it is currently the only form for which the proteins that constitute the death pathway have been characterized at the structural, biochemical and genetic levels in great detail.

Effect of Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. on the histopathology of the diabetic pancreas via caspase family expression [PDF]

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmacognosy Research
Context: Diabetes is a prominent cause of mortality globally, particularly in Indonesia. Elevated glucose levels stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells. A variety of drugs, including oral treatments and synthetic insulin, have been developed

The Docking Interaction of Caspase-9 with ERK2 Provides a Mechanism for the Selective Inhibitory Phosphorylation of Caspase-9 at Threonine 125 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
Caspase-9 plays a critical role in the initiation of apoptosis by the mitochondrial pathway. Activation of caspase-9 is inhibited by phosphorylation at Thr(125) by ERK1/2 MAPKs in response to growth factors. Here, we show that phosphorylation of this site is specific for these classical MAPKs and is not strongly induced when JNK and p38alpha/beta MAPKs

Caspase‐9 acts as a regulator of necroptotic cell death [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2021
Necroptosis is a regulated necrotic‐like cell death modality which has come into the focus of attention since it is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory and degenerative diseases as well as to tumor regulation. Based on current data, necroptosis serves as a backup mechanism when death receptor‐induced apoptosis is inhibited or ...

Engineering a dimeric caspase-9: a re-evaluation of the induced proximity model for caspase activation. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2005
Caspases are responsible for the execution of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and must undergo proteolytic activation, in response to apoptotic stimuli, to function.

Apoptotic Volume Decrease (AVD) Is Independent of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Initiator Caspase Activation

Cells, 2012
Persistent cell shrinkage is a major hallmark of apoptotic cell death. The early-phase shrinkage, which starts within 30−120 min after apoptotic stimulation and is called apoptotic volume decrease (AVD), is known to be accomplished by activation of K ...

Mechanism of zinc‐mediated inhibition of caspase‐9 [PDF]

Protein Science, 2012
AbstractZinc‐mediated inhibition is implicated in global caspase regulation, with relief of zinc‐mediated inhibition central to both small‐molecule and natively induced caspase activation. As an initiator, caspase‐9 regulates the upstream stages of the apoptotic caspase cascade, making it a critical control point.
