The IAP family member BRUCE regulates autophagosome–lysosome fusion
The inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) protein, BRUCE is known to ubiquitinate apoptosis regulators for proteasomal degradation. Here the authors show that BRUCE provides a bridge between LAMP2 on lysosomes and Atg8 family proteins on autophagosomes to support

Inhibition of oncogenic transcription factor REL by the natural product derivative calafianin monomer 101 induces proliferation arrest and apoptosis in human B-lymphoma cell lines [PDF]
Increased activity of transcription factor NF-κB has been implicated in many B-cell lymphomas. We investigated effects of synthetic compound calafianin monomer (CM101) on biochemical and biological properties of NF-κB.

Livin, a Novel Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein Family Member [PDF]
A novel human inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family member termed Livin was identified, containing a single baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain and a COOH-terminal RING finger domain. The mRNA for livin was not detectable by Northern blot in most normal adult tissues with the exception of the placenta, but was present in developmental tissues and

Notch signaling sustains the expression of Mcl-1 and the activity of eIF4E to promote cell survival in CLL [PDF]
In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Notch1 and Notch2 signaling is constitutively activated and contributes to apoptosis resistance. We show that genetic inhibition of either Notch1 or Notch2, through small-interfering RNA, increases apoptosis of CLL ...

Oridonin-Induced A431 Cell Apoptosis Partially Through Blockage of the Ras/Raf/ERK Signal Pathway
We have reported that oridonin, a diterpenoid isolated from the plant Rabdosia rubescens, had apoptosis-inducing activities in many cell lines (e.g., human melanoma A375-S2, human cervical cancer HeLa, human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7, and murine ...

Tilivalline- and Tilimycin-Independent Effects of Klebsiella oxytoca on Tight Junction-Mediated Intestinal Barrier Impairment [PDF]
Klebsiella oxytoca causes antibiotic-associated hemorrhagic colitis and diarrhea. This was attributed largely to its secreted cytotoxins tilivalline and tilimycin, inductors of epithelial apoptosis.

The survivin/XIAP suppressant YM155 impairs clonal growth and induces apoptosis in JAK2V617F cells
The central role of the control of apoptosis in the pathophysiology of Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms has recently been reinforced in genetic and pharmacological studies.

Selective inhibitors of nuclear export for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas
The nuclear export protein chromosome maintenance region 1, found to be elevated in non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, controls localization of critical tumor suppressor proteins.

Ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of ATG12 regulates its proapoptotic activity [PDF]
During macroautophagy, conjugation of ATG12 to ATG5 is essential for LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation. Additionally, ATG12 has ATG5-independent functions in diverse processes including mitochondrial fusion and mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis.
