Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of cell death by Bcl-XL through caspase interaction.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the recognition/cleavage site of Bcl-XL may facilitate protection against cell death by acting at the level of caspase activation and that cleavage of BCl-XL during the execution phase of cell death converts B cl-XL from a protective to a lethal protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies of the lamin proteinase reveal multiple parallel biochemical pathways during apoptotic execution

TL;DR: These studies reveal that the lamin proteinase and the fragmentation nuclease function in independent parallel pathways during the final stages of apoptotic execution, and neither pathway alone is sufficient for completion of nuclear apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspases are Activated in a Branched Protease Cascade and Control Distinct Downstream Processes in Fas-induced Apoptosis

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that caspases are organized in a protease cascade, and that each activated caspase plays a distinct role(s) in the execution of Fas-induced cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of Multiple Interleukin-1β Converting Enzyme Homologues in Cytosol and Nuclei of HL-60 Cells during Etoposide-induced Apoptosis

TL;DR: Etoposide-induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells is accompanied by the selective activation of multiple caspases in cytosol and nuclei, but the results suggest that other caspase precursors such as procaspase-2 are present but not activated during apoptosis.
