The Role of Caspase 9 during Programmed Cell Death in Ciliary Ganglia of Chick Embryos
During programmed cell death (PCD) apoptosis is controlled by many factors such as proteases. With no specific protease (s) known during PCD in the developing nervous system so far, we sought to determine if any specific protease (s) is involved in this process and therefore used different protease inhibitors during PCD (from embryonic day 6 to 10) in chick embryos. Among the inhibitors commerc...
متن کاملBacterial Programmed Cell Death and Multicellular Behavior in Bacteria
Traditionally, programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with eukaryotic multicellular organisms. However, recently, PCD systems have also been observed in bacteria. Here we review recent research on two kinds of genetic programs that promote bacterial cell death. The first is mediated by mazEF, a toxin-antitoxin module found in the chromosomes of many kinds of bacteria, and mainly studied in E...
متن کاملApparent caspase independence of programmed cell death in Dictyostelium
During normal development, cell elimination [1,2] occurs by programmed cell death (PCD) [3], of which apoptosis [4] is the best known morphological type. Activation of cysteine proteases termed caspases [5] is required in many instances of animal PCD [6-9], but its role outside the animal kingdom is as yet unknown. PCD occurs during developmental stages in the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideu...
متن کاملProgrammed Cell Death: Role for MazF and MrpC in Myxococcus Multicellular Development
Programmed cell death is of ultimate importance in embryonic development of animals. Now, programmed cell death has been shown to be an integral part of a multicellular developmental program in the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus.
متن کاملRole of programmed cell death in carcinogenesis.
Cells possess within their repertoire of genetic programs the ability not only to proliferate and be functionally active, but also to activate and undergo a process of self-induced destruction. This process, called programmed cell death, involves a genetic reprogramming of the cell that results in an energy-dependent cascade of biochemical and morphological changes within the cell that result i...
