Regulation of the Intrinsic Apoptosis Pathway by Reactive Oxygen Species
Chu Chiao Wu,Shawn B. Bratton +1 more
TL;DR: A large, multimeric complex is composed of the adapter protein, apoptotic protease-activating factor-1, and the cysteine protease, caspase-9, which stimulates formation of the "apoptosome" in stressed cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Apaf-1 apoptosome induces formation of caspase-9 homo- and heterodimers with distinct activities.
Chu Chiao Wu,Chu Chiao Wu,Sunhee Lee,Srinivas Malladi,Miao Der Chen,Miao Der Chen,Nicholas J. Mastrandrea,Zhiwen Zhang,Shawn B. Bratton +8 more
TL;DR: The apoptosome mediates the formation of caspase-9 homo- and heterodimers, both of which are impacted by cleavage and contribute to its overall function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caspase-9 swings both ways in the apoptosome.
Chu Chiao Wu,Shawn B. Bratton +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that caspase-9 forms (and likely transitions between) both caspases-9 homo- and Apaf-1:caspase -9 heterodimers, each of which plays unique roles in the recruitment and activation of casp enzyme-9.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inactivation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated gene can increase intracellular reactive oxygen species levels and alter radiation-induced cell death pathways in human glioma cells
TL;DR: ATM is involved in redox control but ROS elevations following ATM knock down seem more involved in the decision as to what cell death pathway is utilised after IR than DSB repair and radiosensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
DARK apoptosome secrets come to light.
Chu Chiao Wu,Shawn B. Bratton +1 more
TL;DR: Yuan et al. as mentioned in this paper used biochemical approaches to reconstitute an active Drosophila apoptosome, as well as cryo-electron microscopy to generate an improved model for this conserved caspase-activating complex.
