Substrate specificity and the effect of calcium on Trypanosomabrucei metacaspase 2 [PDF]
, 2013 Metacaspases are cysteine peptidases found only in yeast, plants and lower eukaryotes, including the protozoa. To investigate the extended substrate specificity and effects of Ca<sup>2+</sup> on the activation of these enzymes, detailed ...

Caspase-3 and caspase-8 expression in breast cancer: caspase-3 is associated with survival [PDF]
Apoptosis, 2016 Impaired apoptosis is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Caspase-3 and -8 are key regulators of the apoptotic response and have been shown to interact with the calpain family, a group of cysteine proteases, during tumorigenesis. The current study sought to investigate the prognostic potential of caspase-3 and -8 in breast cancer, as well as the prognostic

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.SLC7A11 frequently migrates faster in SDS‐PAGE. The present study found that the high hydrophobicity of SLC7A11 causes its anomalous migration in SDS‐PAGE with a low concentration of acrylamide gel. Replacing isoleucine with asparagine reduced hydrophobicity and restored its normal migration at 55 kDa, revealing the role of hydrophobicity and gel ...

Yeast caspase 1 suppresses the burst of reactive oxygen species and maintains mitochondrial stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that play essential roles during apoptosis, and we presume some of them may also protect the cell from oxidative stress. We found that the absence of yeast caspase 1(Yca1)in Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to a more intense burst of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) In addition, compared to wild type

Intertwined Functions of Separase and Caspase in Cell Division and Programmed Cell Death. [PDF]
, 2020 Timely sister chromatid separation, promoted by separase, is essential for faithful chromosome segregation. Separase is a member of the CD clan of cysteine proteases, which also includes the pro-apoptotic enzymes known as caspases.

The role of cytochrome c in caspase activation in Drosophila melanogaster cells [PDF]
, 2002 The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is necessary for the formation of the Apaf-1 apoptosome and subsequent activation of caspase-9 in mammalian cells.

Role of caspases and non-caspase proteases in cell death [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2010 Undoubtedly, caspases are the major driving force for apoptosis execution and mechanisms of their activation and inhibition have been largely unveiled. Recent progress has been made with regard to the exact intracellular ordering of caspases, monitoring their activities in vivo and unveiling their substrate degradomes.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The A3 adenosine receptors (A3ARs) are overexpressed in prostate cancer. AR 292 and AR 357, as A3AR antagonists, are capable of blocking proliferation, modulating the expression of drug transporter genes involved in chemoresistance, ferroptosis, and the hypoxia response, and inducing cell death.
