Mammalian caspases: structure ,a ctivation ,s ubstrates, and functions during apoptosis
TL;DR: Caspases, a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases, are prominent among the death proteases as discussed by the authors, and they play critical roles in initiation and execution of this process.

IAP family proteins—suppressors of apoptosis
Quinn Deveraux,John C. Reed +1 more
TL;DR: Although the mechanism used by the IAPs to suppress cell death remains debated, several studies have provided insights into the biochemical functions of these intriguing proteins and a variety of reports have suggested an important role for the I APs in some human diseases.

Mammalian Caspases: Structure, Activation, Substrates, and Functions During Apoptosis
TL;DR: This work has shown that apoptotic cell death is a genetically programmed, morphologically distinct form of cell death that can be triggered by a variety of physiological and pathological stimuli, and that proteases play critical roles in initiation and execution of this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical Pathways of Caspase Activation During Apoptosis
TL;DR: This review focuses on the two most well-studied pathways of caspase activation: the cell surface death receptor pathway and the mitochondria-initiated pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor signaling.
TL;DR: Some general aspects of this fascinating molecule are covered and then the molecular mechanisms of TNF signal transduction will be addressed, including the multiple facets of crosstalk between the various signalling pathways engaged by TNF.

Cytochrome c and dATP-Dependent Formation of Apaf-1/Caspase-9 Complex Initiates an Apoptotic Protease Cascade
Peng Li,Deepak Nijhawan,Imawati Budihardjo,Srinivasa M. Srinivasula,Manzoor Ahmad,Emad S. Alnemri,Xiaodong Wang +6 more
TL;DR: Mutation of the active site of caspase-9 attenuated the activation of cazase-3 and cellular apoptotic response in vivo, indicating that casp enzyme-9 is the most upstream member of the apoptotic protease cascade that is triggered by cytochrome c and dATP.

The Fas Death Factor
Shigekazu Nagata,Pierre Golstein +1 more
TL;DR: Fas ligand (FasL), a cell surface molecule belonging to the tumor necrosis factor family, binds to its receptor Fas, thus inducing apoptosis of Fas-bearing cells.

TL;DR: This work utilized nano-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to identify CAP3 and CAP4, components of the CD95 (Fas/APO-1) death-inducing signaling complex, and found a novel 55 kDa protein, designated FLICE, which has homology to both FADD and the ICE/CED-3 family of cysteine proteases.

Quantitative studies of the growth of mouse embryo cells in culture and their development into established lines
George J. Todaro,Howard Green +1 more
TL;DR: Disaggregated mouse embryo cells, grown in monolayers, underwent a progressive decline in growth rate upon successive transfer, the rapidity of the decline depending on the inoculation density, but nearly all cultures developed into established lines within 3 months of culture.

Production of high titer helper-free retroviruses by transient transfection
TL;DR: In this article, a method for producing high-titer, helper-free infectious retroviruses is disclosed which employs a novel strategy that uses transient transfection of new retroviral producer cell lines, ecotropic line BOSC 23 and amphotropic line CAK 8.
