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...
Cyclosporin A-Sensitive Transcription Factor Egr-3 Regulates Fas Ligand Expression
Activation-induced transcriptional upregulation of the ligand for Fas (FasL) and the resulting apoptosis of Fas-bearing cells constitute essential steps in a host of normal and ...
BAX-induced cell death may not require interleukin 1β-converting enzyme-like proteases
Expression of BAX, without another death stimulus, proved sufficient to induce a common pathway of apoptosis. This included the activation of interleukin 1β-converting enzyme (I...
MHC II in Dendritic Cells is Targeted to Lysosomes or T Cell‐Induced Exosomes Via Distinct Multivesicular Body Pathways
Dendritic cells (DCs) express major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) to present peptide antigens to T cells. In immature DCs, which bear low cell surface levels of M...
Mammalian Caspases: Structure, Activation, Substrates, and Functions During Apoptosis
▪ Abstract Apoptosis is a genetically programmed, morphologically distinct form of cell death that can be triggered by a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli. Studi...
