Caspase-3 activity increased dramatically in cytosolic extracts of rat cerebellar granule cells exposed to apoptotic conditions (basal medium Eagle (BME) containing 5 mM K ؉ without serum) when assayed with Ac-DEVD-amc, but not with Ac-YVAD-afc, a preferred substrate for caspase-1. This provided a b

Background: Procaspase 3 is a constitutive proenzyme that is activated by cleavage during apoptosis. The resulting enzyme is able to cleave several target proteins after the second aspartate of a DEVD sequence common to all the substrates of caspases 3 and 7 (DEVDase). Because active caspase 3 is a
The efficacy of taxanes on human leukemia cells is the object of intensive in vitro investigation concerning the influence of cell-type-specific characteristics on cytotoxic response to drugs. The present study dissects the response to taxanes of HL60 acute myelomonocytic leukemia and of K562 chroni
The multicatalytic protease complex or proteasome is a fundamental nonlysosomal tool that the cell uses to process or degrade proteins at a fast rate through the ubiquitin and ATP-dependent proteolytic pathway. Examples of these important proteins include the tumor suppressor protein p53, various cy
