Hsp27 negatively regulates cell death by interacting with cytochrome c

TL;DR: Hsp27 binds to cytochrome c released from the mitochondria to the cytosol and prevents cy tochrome-c-mediated interaction of Apaf-1 with procaspase-9, which interferes specifically with the mitochondrial pathway of caspases-dependent cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat-shock protein 70 antagonizes apoptosis-inducing factor.

TL;DR: The data indicate that Hsp70 can inhibit apoptosis by interfering with target proteins other than Apaf-1, one of which is AIF, which is a mitochondrial intermembrane flavoprotein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat shock proteins: endogenous modulators of apoptotic cell death.

TL;DR: A review of apoptosis-regulatory function of HSPs concludes that HSP27 and HSP70 may participate in carcinogenesis and should be considered as suspects in the development of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two distinct pathways leading to nuclear apoptosis.

TL;DR: Two redundant parallel pathways may lead to chromatin processing during apoptosis, including one which involves Apaf-1 and caspases, as well as CAD, and leads to oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation and advanced chromatin condensation and the other which is caspase-independent.
