Uterine Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Its Unfolded Protein Response May Regulate Caspase 3 Activation in the Pregnant Mouse Uterus [PDF]
We have previously proposed that uterine caspase-3 may modulate uterine contractility in a gestationally regulated fashion. The objective of this study was to determine the mechanism by which uterine caspase-3 is activated and consequently controlled in ...

Engineering a dimeric caspase-9: a re-evaluation of the induced proximity model for caspase activation. [PDF]
Caspases are responsible for the execution of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and must undergo proteolytic activation, in response to apoptotic stimuli, to function.

Expression and prognostic significance of APAF‐1, caspase‐8 and caspase‐9 in stage II/III colon carcinoma: Caspase‐8 and caspase‐9 is associated with poor prognosis [PDF]
AbstractApoptosis protease activating factor‐1 (APAF‐1), caspase‐8 and caspase‐9 are important factors in the execution of death signals. To study their prognostic influence in colon carcinoma, expression of APAF‐1, caspase‐8 and caspase‐9 was determined by immunohistochemistry in normal colon mucosa (n = 8) and R0‐resected stage II/III colon ...

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

Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involves IL-1 but is independent of NLRP3/ASC inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 [PDF]
IL-1b and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1b and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown.

Mechanism of XIAP-Mediated Inhibition of Caspase-9 [PDF]
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.

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