Low expression of APAF-1XL in acute myeloid leukemia may be associated with the failure of remission induction therapy.
Apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (APAF-1) has a critical role in the regulation of apoptosis. In the present study, the mRNA expression analysis of different APAF-1 transcripts (APAF-1S, APAF-1LC, APAF-1LN, and APAF-1XL) was analyzed in bone marrow samples from 37 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (newly diagnosed, with no previous treatment). APAF-1XL and APAF-1LN transcripts (with an...
متن کاملThe Apaf-1*procaspase-9 apoptosome complex functions as a proteolytic-based molecular timer.
During stress-induced apoptosis, the initiator caspase-9 is activated by the Apaf-1 apoptosome and must remain bound to retain significant catalytic activity. Nevertheless, in apoptotic cells the vast majority of processed caspase-9 is paradoxically observed outside the complex. We show herein that apoptosome-mediated cleavage of procaspase-9 occurs exclusively through a CARD-displacement mecha...

آپوپتوز یا مرگ برنامه ریزی شده سلول یک نوع از مرگ سلولی می باشد که موجودات چند سلولی جهت حذف سلول های نا مناسب از آن استفاده می نمایند. نکته مهم در خلال حذف این نوع سلول ها این است که فرایند آپوپتوز به حدی کنترل شده و ایمن باشد که به ساختارهای مجاور هیچ نوع آسیبی وارد نشود. در این مطالعه با استفاده از دیدگاه protein complementation assay و تکنولوژی گزارشگر های دو بخشی لوسیفراز نقش دمین wd-40 از...
Apoptotic Protease Activating Factor-1 Inhibitor Mitigates Myocardial Ischemia Injury via Disturbing Procaspase-9 Recruitment by Apaf-1
(2S,3S,4S,5R,6R)-6-(4-((4-guanidinobutoxy)carbonyl)-2,6-dihydroxyphenoxy)-3,4,5-trihydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid (ZYZ-488) was discovered as a novel inhibitor of apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1). In present work, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay confirms the direct binding between ZYZ-488 and Apaf-1 and this interaction was found to be able to block the recr...
متن کاملS-Nitrosation regulates the activation of endogenous procaspase-9 in HT-29 human colon carcinoma cells.
Nitric oxide-mediated signals have been suggested to regulate the activity of caspases negatively, yet literature has provided little direct evidence. We show in this paper that cytokines and nitric-oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors regulate S-nitrosation of an initiator caspase, procaspase-9, in a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29. A NOS inhibitor, N(G)-methyl-l-arginine, enhanced the ...
