The Inhibition of the Nuclear Transport of Caspase-7 by its Prodomain
Apoptosis is a major form of cell death, characterized by a series of the morphological changes induced by cleaving cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins via active caspases. The data presented here show, by the fluorescence microscopic and the immunoblotting analyses, that a prodomain of caspase-7 inhibits its nuclear translocation and apoptosis-inducing activity. This nuclear localization is depen...
متن کاملProdomain-dependent nuclear localization of the caspase-2 (Nedd2) precursor. A novel function for a caspase prodomain.
Caspases are cysteine proteases that play an essential role in apoptosis by cleaving several key cellular proteins. Despite their function in apoptosis, little is known about where in the cell they are localized and whether they are translocated to specific cellular compartments upon activation. In the present paper, using Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein fusion constructs, we have d...

Maturation of the olfactory sensory neurons by Apaf-1/caspase-9-mediated caspase activity.
Although the apoptotic role of caspases has been largely understood, accumulating evidence in Drosophila suggests that caspases also control other processes than apoptotic cell death. However, how caspases contribute to the development of the mammalian nervous system remains obscure. Here, we provide unique evidence that Apaf-1/caspase-9-mediated caspase signaling regulates the development of o...
متن کاملThalidomide inhibits activation of caspase-1.
Thalidomide is an efficient anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic drug, but its therapeutic use is problematic due to a strong teratogenic activity. Nevertheless, thalidomide was approved for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and certain types of cancer, and it is extensively tested for several other indications. Recently, we demonstrated that active caspase-1, whose activation is dep...
