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.

Pramanicin induces apoptosis in Jurkat leukemia cells; a role for JNK, p38 and caspase activation [PDF]
, 2005 Pramanicin is a novel anti-fungal drug with a wide range of potential application against human diseases. It has been previously shown that pramanicin induces cell death and increases calcium levels in vascular endothelial cells. In the present study, we

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.

Essential role of caspase-8 in p53/p73-dependent apoptosis induced by etoposide in head and neck carcinoma cells [PDF]
, 2011 Background Caspase-8 is a key upstream mediator in death receptor-mediated apoptosis and also participates in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis via cleavage of proapoptotic Bid.

Mechanism of XIAP-Mediated Inhibition of Caspase-9 [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2003 The inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins potently inhibit the catalytic activity of caspases. While profound insight into the inhibition of the effector caspases has been gained in recent years, the mechanism of how the initiator caspase-9 is regulated by IAPs remains enigmatic.

Mathematical modeling of the formation of apoptosome in intrinsic pathway of apoptosis [PDF]
, 2008 Caspase-9 is the protease that mediates the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis, a type of cell death. Activation of caspase-9 is a multi-step process that requires dATP or ATP and involves at least two proteins, cytochrome c and Apaf-1.

Caspase-9: structure, mechanisms and clinical application
Oncotarget, 2017 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. Caspase-9 is activated on the apoptosome complex to remain catalytic status and is thought of involving homo-dimerization monomeric zymogens ...
