AbstractCaspases are a family of cysteine proteases with a strict specificity for aspartate residues involved in inflammatory process and programmed cell death. This overview unit provides basic information on their structure, enzymatic activity, substrate specificity, activation,inhibition and their implication in pathologies.

Caspases and caspase inhibitors
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1997Five years ago, little was known about mechanisms of apoptotic execution. Now, one class of cell-death gene, the cysteine and aspartases (caspases) has come under intensive study. This review discusses the two classes of caspases, the reasons why humans may have so many caspase genes, the growing list of caspase substrates, and viral and ...

Caspase activation is the 'point of no return' commitment to cell death. Synthesized as inactive zymogens, it is essential that the caspases remain inactive until the death signal is received. It is known for the downstream executioner caspases-3 and -7 that the activation event is proteolytic cleavage, and this had been assumed to apply to the ...

Death without caspases, caspases without death
Trends in Cell Biology, 2004Apoptosis is a conserved cell-death process displaying characteristic morphological and molecular changes including activation of caspase proteases. Recent work challenges the accepted roles of these proteases. New investigations in mice and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans suggest that there could be caspase-independent pathways leading to cell ...

Deficiency in caspase-9 or caspase-3 induces compensatory caspase activation
Nature Medicine, 2000Dysregulation of apoptosis contributes to the pathogenesis of many human diseases. As effectors of the apoptotic machinery, caspases are considered potential therapeutic targets. Using an established in vivo model of Fas-mediated apoptosis, we demonstrate here that elimination of certain caspases was compensated in vivo by the activation of other ...

The third edition of the Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes aims to be a comprehensive reference work for the enzymes that cleave proteins and peptides, and contains over 800 chapters. Each chapter is organized into sections describing the name and history, activity and specificity, structural chemistry, preparation, biological aspects, and distinguishing

The main effectors of apoptosis encompass proteases from the caspase family, which reside as latent precursors in most nucleated animal cells. The apoptotic caspases constitute a minimal two-step signaling pathway. The apical (initiator) caspases are activated within oligomeric signaling complexes in response to apoptotic stimuli.

Caspase-9 is a member of caspase family of cysteine proteases that have been implicated in apoptosis and cytokine processing. When cells receive apoptotic stimuli, mitochondria releases cytochrome c which then binds to Apaf-1, the mammalian Ced-4 homologue, together with dATP.
