Apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) as a liable gene for spontaneous mutations in vitro
The apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) receives the death signal in the intrinsic ormitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Upon the releasing of cytochrome c from theintermembrane space of mitochondria and binding to Apaf-1 molecules, a heptamericapoptosome complex is formed and triggers the downstream cascade of caspases. Here, for thefirst time we present spontaneous mutations and r...
متن کاملAPAF 1 ( Apoptotic protease activating factor 1 )
Five isoforms of APAF1 cDNA have been identified in Homo sapiens: The original APAF1 (also called Apaf-1S) is 3585 bp long (it contains 12 WD40 repeats); The APAF1-1M isoform (3618 bp) contains an insertion of 33 nt after position 295 of the first published sequence (11 aa insertion GKDSVSGITSY between aa 98 and 99; it also contains 12 WD40 repeats); The APAF1XS isoform (3516 bp) contains the s...
متن کاملPYNOD, a novel Apaf-1/CED4-like protein is an inhibitor of ASC and caspase-1.
Recently, a large subfamily of nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-containing proteins that have an N-terminal pyrin-like domain and C-terminal leucine-rich repeats has been described. In this study, we identified PYNOD, a novel member of this family that lacks the leucine-rich repeats. We found that human PYNOD mRNA is expressed in various tissues and at high levels in heart, skeleta...

متن کاملA novel Apaf-1–independent putative caspase-2 activation complex
Caspase activation is a key event in apoptosis execution. In stress-induced apoptosis, the mitochondrial pathway of caspase activation is believed to be of central importance. In this pathway, cytochrome c released from mitochondria facilitates the formation of an Apaf-1 apoptosome that recruits and activates caspase-9. Recent data indicate that in some cells caspase-9 may not be the initiator ...
