Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus microRNAs target caspase 3 and regulate apoptosis. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2011
Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a cluster of twelve micro (mi)RNAs, which are abundantly expressed during both latent and lytic infection.

Pro-caspase-3 Is a Major Physiologic Target of Caspase-8 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
The apoptotic signal triggered by ligation of members of the death receptor family is promoted by sequential activation of caspase zymogens. We show here that in a purified system, the initiator caspases-8 and -10 directly process the executioner pro-caspase-3 with activation rates (kcat/Km) of 8.7 x 10(5) and 2.8 x 10(5) M-1 s-1, respectively.

Substrate and Inhibitor-induced Dimerization and Cooperativity in Caspase-1 but Not Caspase-3 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Caspases are intracellular cysteine-class proteases with aspartate specificity that is critical for driving processes as diverse as the innate immune response and apoptosis, exemplified by caspase-1 and caspase-3, respectively. Interestingly, caspase-1 cleaves far fewer cellular substrates than caspase-3 and also shows strong positive cooperativity ...

Characterization of Canine Caspase-3

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2004
The canine caspase-3 gene was cloned and sequenced. The canine caspase-3 cDNA clone was 1473 base pairs in length and encoded 277 amino acids. The predicted amino acid sequence showed 88.4%, 88.0%, 85.9%, 65.9% and 60.6% homology with that of human, pig, mouse, chicken and zebra fish caspase-3, respectively.

Huntingtin inhibits caspase‐3 activation [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2006
Huntington's disease results from a mutation in the HD gene encoding for the protein huntingtin. The function of huntingtin, although beginning to be elucidated, remains largely unclear. To probe the prosurvival function of huntingtin, we modulate levels of wild-type huntingtin in a number of cellular and in vivo models.

Total extract of Abelmoschus manihot L. alleviates uric acid-induced renal tubular epithelial injury via inhibition of caspase-8/caspase-3/NLRP3/GSDME signaling

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Purpose: The incidence of uric acid (UA)-induced kidney injury is increasing owing to the high incidence of hyperuricemia in recent years. The flower of Abelmoschus manihot (Linneus) Medik is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb widely used in the ...

An improved superoxide-generating nanodevice for oxidative stress studies in cultured cells

Biotechnology Reports, 2015
The effects of reactive oxygen species on cells have attracted great attention from both physiological and pathological aspects. Superoxide (O2−) is the primary reactive oxygen species formed in animals.

Caspase-3 and Caspase-6 cleave STAT1 in leukemic cells

Oncotarget, 2014
Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-1 (STAT1) is phosphorylated upon interferon (IFN) stimulation, which can restrict cell proliferation and survival. Nevertheless, in some cancers STAT1 can act in an anti-apoptotic manner. Moreover, certain malignancies are characterized by the overexpression and constitutive activation of STAT1. Here, we
