Caspases是一类天冬氨酸特异性半胱氨酸蛋白酶,在细胞凋亡和多种生理病理过程中发挥重要作用。目前已鉴定出14种哺乳动物半胱天冬酶,可分为两组:炎性半胱天冬酶和凋亡型半胱天冬酶。根据结构和功能的不同,将凋亡caspase进一步分为启动/顶端caspase (caspase-2、-8、-9和-10)和效应/执行caspase (caspase-3、-6和-7)。在本文中,我们讨论了我们所了解的关于单个效应caspase在介导凋亡和非凋亡事件中的作用,特别强调了与效应caspase相关的白血病特异性癌蛋白。
Caspases, a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases, play a major role in apoptosis and a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Fourteen mammalian caspases have been identified and can be divided into two groups: inflammatory caspases and apoptotic caspases. Based on the structure and function, the apoptotic caspases are further grouped into initiator/apical caspases (caspase-2, -8, -9, and -10) and effector/executioner caspases (caspase-3, -6, and -7). In this paper, we discuss what we have learned about the role of individual effector caspase in mediating both apoptotic and nonapoptotic events, with special emphasis on leukemia-specific oncoproteins in relation to effector caspases.
