Saturated free fatty acids and apoptosis in microvascular mesangial cells: palmitate activates pro-apoptotic signaling involving caspase 9 and mitochondrial release of endonuclease G [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2005 Background In type 2 diabetes, free fatty acids (FFA) accumulate in microvascular cells, but the phenotypic consequences of FFA accumulation in the microvasculature are incompletely understood.

Caspase-9 Activation and Caspase Cleavage of tau in the Alzheimer's Disease Brain
Neurobiology of Disease, 2002 Accumulating evidence supports a role for the activation of proteolytic enzymes, caspases, in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Neurons committed to apoptosis may do so through a mitochondrial pathway employing caspase-9 or through an alternative ...

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.

Proteolytic Processing of the Caspase-9 Zymogen Is Required for Apoptosome-mediated Activation of Caspase-9 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 Maturation of the single-chain caspase-9 zymogen through autoproteolytic processing is mediated by the Apaf-1 apoptosome at the onset of apoptosis. Processed caspase-9 and the apoptosome form a holoenzyme with robust proteolytic activity that is 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than that of free processed caspase-9.

The Apoptosome Activates Caspase-9 by Dimerization [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2006 The apical protease of the human intrinsic apoptotic pathway, caspase-9, is activated in a polymeric activation platform known as the apoptosome. The mechanism has been debated, and two contrasting hypotheses have been suggested. One of these postulates an allosteric activation of monomeric caspase-9; the other postulates a dimer-driven assembly at the

GENETIC POLYMORHISM OF CASPASE 8 AND 9 IN IRAQ
The Iraqi Journal of Agricultural science, 2022 This study examined the potential association between polymorphisms of Caspase 9 −293del (rs4645982) and Caspase8−652 6N ins / del (rs3834129) and the danger of acute and chronic myeloid leukaemia in Iraqi population.
