Caspase-3-Generated Fragment of Gelsolin: Effector of Morphological Change in Apoptosis
The caspase-3 (CPP32, apopain, YAMA) family of cysteinyl proteases has been implicated as key mediators of apoptosis in mammalian cells. Gelsolin was identified as a substrate f...
Endogenous endonuclease-induced DNA fragmentation: an early event in cell-mediated cytolysis.
Within minutes of exposure of target cells to cytotoxic T lymphocytes, their nuclear DNA begins to be fragmented. This phenomenon precedes 51Cr release by at least an hour. DNA ...
Glucocorticoid activation of a calcium-dependent endonuclease in thymocyte nuclei leads to cell death.
Abstract Dexamethasone and corticosterone kill mouse thymocytes, as measured by eosin uptake, after several hours of in vitro incubation. This killing requires RNA and protein s...
Conversion of Bcl-2 to a Bax-like Death Effector by Caspases
Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases implicated in the biochemical and morphological changes that occur during apoptosis (programmed cell death). The loop domain of Bcl-2...
The apoptosis-necrosis paradox. Apoptogenic proteases activated after mitochondrial permeability transition determine the mode of cell death
Mitochondrial alterations including permeability transition (PT) constitute critical events of the apoptotic cascade and are under the control of Bcl-2 related gene products. He...
