Salmonella Pathogenesis and Processing of Secreted Effectors by Caspase-3 [PDF]
The enteric pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium causes food poisoning resulting in gastroenteritis. The S. Typhimurium effector Salmonella invasion protein A (SipA) promotes gastroenteritis by functional motifs that trigger either mechanisms

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Caspase-3 [PDF]
Caspase-3 is a fundamental target for pharmaceutical interventions against a variety of diseases involving disregulated apoptosis. The enzyme is active as a dimer with two symmetry-related active sites, each featuring a Cys-His catalytic dyad and a selectivity loop, which recognizes the characteristic DEVD pattern of the substrate.

Gasdermin pores permeabilize mitochondria to augment caspase-3 activation during apoptosis and inflammasome activation. [PDF]
Gasdermin E (GSDME/DFNA5) cleavage by caspase-3 liberates the GSDME-N domain, which mediates pyroptosis by forming pores in the plasma membrane.

Controlling TRAIL-mediated caspase-3 activation [PDF]
This commentary is addressed at the paper by Dr Jie and his co-workers in the current issue of Leukemia (‘Differential involvement of Bax and Bak in TRAIL-mediated apoptosis of leukemic T cells’). In this paper, the authors show the preferential use of Bax over Bak for the induction of mitochondrial apoptotic events in leukemic cell exposed to TRAIL 1.

Characterization of Canine Caspase-3
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.
