Stucki2005 - caspase-3 metabolism

ABSTRACT: Jörg W. Stucki & Hans-Uwe Simon. Mathematical modeling of the regulation of caspase-3 activation and degradation. Journal of Theoretical Biology 234, 1 (2005). Caspases are thought to be important players in the execution process of apoptosis. Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are able to block caspases and therefore apoptosis. The fact that a subgroup of the IAP family inhibits active caspases implies that not each caspase activation necessarily leads to apoptosis. In such a scenario, however, processed and enzymically active caspases should somehow be removed. Indeed, IAP–caspase complexes covalently bind ubiquitin, resulting in degradation by the 26S proteasome. Following release from mitochondria, IAP antagonists (e.g. second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac)) inactivate IAPs. Moreover, although pro-apoptotic factors such as irradiation or anti-cancer drugs may release Smac from mitochondria in tumor cells, high cytoplasmic survivin and ML-IAP levels might be able to neutralize it and, consequently, IAPs would further be able to bind activated caspases. Here, we propose a simple mathematical model, describing the molecular interactions between Smac deactivators, Smac, IAPs, and caspase-3, including the requirements for both induction and prevention of apoptosis, respectively. In addition, we predict a novel mechanism of caspase-3 degradation that might be particularly relevant in long-living cells.

Ptpn6 inhibits caspase-8- and Ripk3/Mlkl-dependent inflammation

Project description:Ptpn6 is a cytoplasmic phosphatase that functions to prevent autoimmune disease and IL-1R-dependent caspase-1-independent inflammatory disease. Conditional deletion of Ptpn6 in neutrophils (Ptpn6∆PMN) is sufficient to initiate IL-1R-dependent cutaneous inflammatory disease, but the source of IL-1 and the mechanisms behind IL-1 release remain unclear. Here, we investigated the mechanisms controlling IL-1α/β release from neutrophils by inhibiting caspase-8-dependent apoptosis and Ripk1/Ripk3/Mlkl-regulated necroptosis. Loss of Ripk1 accelerated disease onset, whereas combined deletion of caspase-8 and either Ripk3 or Mlkl strongly protected Ptpn6∆PMN mice. Ptpn6∆PMN neutrophils displayed increased p38-dependent Ripk1-independent IL-1 and TNF production, and were prone to cell death. Together, these data emphasize dual functions for Ptpn6 in the negative regulation of p38 MAP kinase activation to control TNF and IL-1α/β transcription, and in maintaining Ripk1 function to prevent caspase-8- and Ripk3/Mlkl-dependent cell death and concomitant IL-1α/β release.

Effects of caspase-8 deletion in the intestinal epithelium

Project description:Caspase-8 is a cystein protease involved in regulating apoptosis. The function of caspase-8 was studied in the intestinal epithelium, using mice with an intestinal epithelial cell specific deletion of caspase-8. We used microarrays to investigate the difference of the global programme of gene expression in intestinal epithelial cells of control and caspase-8 deficient mice. Intestinal epithelial cells were isolated from 3 control mice and 3 mice with a conditional deletion of caspase-8 in the intestinal epithelium. RNA was isolated and subjected to Affymetrix gene chip analysis.

HELA cells PARL Immunoprecipitation part II

Project description:Mitochondria drive apoptosis by releasing pro-apoptotic proteins that promote caspase activation in the cytosol. The rhomboid-like protease PARL, an intramembrane cleaving peptidase in the inner membrane, regulates mitophagy and cell death pathways, but its role in apoptosis remained enigmatic. Here, we employed PARL-based proteomics to define its substrate spectrum. Our data identified the mitochondrial pro-apoptotic protein Smac/DIABLO as a PARL substrate. In apoptotic cells, Smac/DIABLO is released into the cytosol and promotes caspase activity by inhibiting IAPs. Intramembrane cleavage of Smac/DIABLO by PARL generates an amino terminal IAP-binding motif, which is required for its apoptotic activity. Loss of PARL impairs proteolytic maturation of Smac/DIABLO, which fails to bind XIAP. Smac/DIABLO peptidomimetics, downregulation of XIAP or cytosolic expression of cleaved Smac/DIABLO restores apoptosis in PARL-deficient cells. Our results discover a pro-apoptotic function of PARL and identify PARL-mediated Smac/DIABLO processing and cytochrome c release facilitated by OPA1 dependent cristae remodeling as two independent pro-apoptotic pathways in mitochondria. Please note that these data are overlapping with data uploaded under: PXD004914. Exclusively in this upload, you will find the S277A mutant immunoprecipitations.

Caspase-8 promotes c-Rel-dependent inflammatory cytokine expression and resistance against Toxoplasma gondii

Project description:Caspase-8 is a critical regulator of apoptosis, programmed necrosis, and inflammatory gene expression. Caspase-8 is necessary for optimal transcription of inflammatory and antimicrobial host defense genes, including Il12 and Il1b. While the mechanisms of caspase-8-mediated control of apoptosis and programmed necrosis are well-described, how caspase-8 controls inflammatory gene expression is less clear. We show that caspase-8 is necessary for optimal nuclear translocation of the NF-κB family member c-Rel, and consequently, for recruitment of c-Rel to caspase-8-dependent gene promoters. Furthermore, caspase-8 deficiency led to an inability to control acute Toxoplasma gondii infection. These findings provide new insight into how caspase-8 contributes to inflammatory gene expression and host defense.

Aurora kinase B-dependent phosphorylation regulates caspase-2 activity and function

Project description:Mitotic catastrophe (MC) is an important mechanism to remove cells that become polyploid or aneuploid, as an oncosuppressive mechanism. Previous studies have demonstrated that the activation and catalytic function of caspase-2 is a key step in MC, to trigger apoptosis and/or cell cycle arrest of such defective cells. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate caspase-2 activation and its function are unclear. Here we show that Aurora kinase B (AURKB), a key mitotic kinase, phosphorylates caspase-2 at a highly conserved residue S384 and inhibits its catalytic activity and function. We identified six new phosphorylation sites in caspase-2 and further demonstrated that phosphorylation at S384 blocks caspase-2 catalytic activity and apoptosis function in response to mitotic insults, without affecting caspase-2 dimerisation. Moreover, molecular modelling suggests that phosphorylation at S384 may affect substrate binding by caspase-2. We propose that caspase-2 S384 phosphorylation by AURKB is a key mechanism that controls caspase-2 activation during mitosis.

Interaction between cyclooxygenase-2 and caspase-3 abolishes the cleavage of RNA-binding protein HuR and promotes drug resistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Here, we show that HuR cleavage is dependent on active caspase-3 in oral cancer cells treated with ionizing radiation and the chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel. We determined that oral cancer cells overexpressing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) limited the cleavage of both caspase-3 and HuR, which in turn, reduced the rate of apoptosis in paclitaxel treated cells. Specific inhibition of COX-2 by celecoxib promoted apoptosis through activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of HuR in paclitaxel-resistant oral cancer cells. In addition, oral cancer cells overexpressing cellular HuR increased the half-life of COX-2 mRNA and promoted COX-2 expression, exhibiting enhanced tumor growth in vivo in comparison with the cleavable form of HuR. Finally, our RNP IP and RNA transcriptome analysis of HuR under IR revealed that the HuR cleavage product-1 (HuR-CP1) associates and promotes the expression of mRNAs encoding proteins involved in apoptosis.
