Selective Induction of Cancer Cell Death by Targeted Granzyme B
The potential utility of immunotoxins for cancer therapy has convincingly been demonstrated in clinical studies. Nevertheless, the high immunogenicity of their bacterial toxin domain represents a critical limitation, and has prompted the evaluation of cell-death inducing proteins of human origin as a basis for less immunogenic immunotoxin-like molecules. In this review, we focus on the current ...
متن کاملGranzyme B and natural killer (NK) cell death.
Granzyme B is a unique serine protease, which plays a crucial role for target cell death. Several mechanisms of delivery of granzyme B to target cells have been recently identified. Granzyme B directly activates Bid, a specific substrate for granzyme B, resulting in caspase activation. Granzyme B efficiently cleaves many prominent autoantigens, and the hypothesis that autoantibodies arise when ...
متن کاملROS signaling during granzyme B-mediated apoptosis
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in cell signaling, aging, and death and play a role in carcinogenesis. However, whether ROS are bystanders or active effectors of apoptosis was unclear until recently. New evidence shows that the killer lymphocyte protease granzyme B activates a conserved biochemical pathway centered on respiratory chain disruption to trigger mitocentric ROS-dependent ...
متن کاملHuman and murine granzyme B exhibit divergent substrate preferences
The cytotoxic lymphocyte protease granzyme B (GzmB) can promote apoptosis through direct processing and activation of members of the caspase family. GzmB can also cleave the BH3-only protein, BID, to promote caspase-independent mitochondrial permeabilization. Although human and mouse forms of GzmB exhibit extensive homology, these proteases diverge at residues predicted to influence substrate b...
متن کاملGranzyme M is a regulatory protease that inactivates proteinase inhibitor 9, an endogenous inhibitor of granzyme B.
Granzyme M is a trypsin-fold serine protease that is specifically found in the granules of natural killer cells. This enzyme has been implicated recently in the induction of target cell death by cytotoxic lymphocytes, but unlike granzymes A and B, the molecular mechanism of action of granzyme M is unknown. We have characterized the extended substrate specificity of human granzyme M by using pur...
