靶點
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near N-terminus of human Apaf-1 was used as immunogen.
Oligomeric Apaf-1 mediates the cytochrome c-dependent autocatalytic activation of pro-caspase-9 (Apaf-3), leading to the activation of caspase-3 and apoptosis. This activation requires ATP. Isoform 6 is less effective in inducing apoptosis.
總結(jié)
Apaf-1, or apoptotic protease activating factor 1, is a human protein homolog of the C. elagans apoptotic regulatory protein CED-4 that activates caspase-9 during apoptosis (1). Cytosolic Apaf-1 forms an oligomeric complex with caspase-9 in the presence of cytochrome c and dATP, which leads to caspase-9 activation and subsequent activation of caspase-3 (2, 3). Oligomeric Apaf-1 and pro-caspase-9 bind to each other via their respective NH2-terminal CARD domains, consequently enhancing the catalytic activity of caspase-9 (4), leading to activation of the caspase signaling cascade and apoptosis.
