Effector Caspases and Leukemia
International Journal of Cell Biology, 2011 Caspases, a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases, play a major role in apoptosis and a variety of physiological and pathological processes.

Impact of Tau on Neurovascular Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder and the most prevalent cause of dementia. The main cerebral histological hallmarks are represented by parenchymal insoluble deposits of amyloid beta (Aβ plaques) and neurofibrillary tangles

The Drosophila DIAP1 protein is required to prevent accumulation of a continuously generated, processed form of the apical caspase DRONC [PDF]
, 2002 Although loss of the inhibitor of apoptosis (LAP) protein DIAP1 has been shown to result in caspase activation and spontaneous cell death in Drosophila cells and embryos, the point at which DIAP1 normally functions to inhibit caspase activation is ...

E3 Ubiquitin Ligase ASB17 Promotes Apoptosis by Ubiquitylating and Degrading BCLW and MCL1
Biology, 2021 Apoptosis is a very important process of cell death controlled by multiple genes during which cells undergo certain events before dying. Apoptosis helps to clean the unnecessary cells and has critical physiological significance. Altered apoptosis results

Cleavage of DFNA5 by caspase-3 during apoptosis mediates progression to secondary necrotic/pyroptotic cell death. [PDF]
, 2017 Apoptosis is a genetically regulated cell suicide programme mediated by activation of the effector caspases 3, 6 and 7. If apoptotic cells are not scavenged, they progress to a lytic and inflammatory phase called secondary necrosis.

Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins as E3 ligases for ubiquitin and NEDD8
Biomolecular Concepts, 2013 The inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are endogenous inhibitors for apoptosis. Apoptosis is carried out by caspases, which are the family of cystein proteases. IAPs regulate caspases through two conserved regions, the baculovirus IAP repeats (BIRs)

Cleavage of the apoptosis inhibitor DIAP1 by the apical caspase DRONC in both normal and apoptotic drosophila cells [PDF]
, 2005 In Drosophila S2 cells, the apical caspase DRONC undergoes a low level of spontaneous autoprocessing. Unintended apoptosis is prevented by the inhibitor of apoptosis DIAP1, which targets the processed form of DRONC for degradation through its E3 ...

Bim and Bmf synergize to induce apoptosis in Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection [PDF]
, 2009 : Bcl-2 family proteins including the pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins are central regulators of apoptotic cell death. Here we show by a focused siRNA miniscreen that the synergistic action of the BH3-only proteins Bim and Bmf is required for apoptosis ...

Caspases in synaptic plasticity
Molecular Brain, 2012 Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases that play key roles in programmed cell death (apoptosis). Mounting evidence in recent years shows that caspases also have important non-apoptotic functions in multiple cellular processes, such as synaptic ...

Poultry Science, 2022 : This study compared the meat quality and sensory quality characteristics of broiler pectoralis major (PM) muscle between meat quality classes, including reddish, firm, and non-exudative (RFN) and pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) conditions. Additionally,
