|
Ced-3
|
Required for apoptosis
Pro-apoptosis Main enzymatic killer Homologous to Caspase-9 |
|
Ced-4
|
Required for apoptosis
Pro-apoptosis Adaptor protein required for activation of Ced-3 Homologous to Apaf-1 |
|
Ced-9
|
Negative regulator of apoptosis
Anti-apoptosis Inhibits Ced-4's ability to activate Ced-3 |
|
Actions of Ced-3
|
Destroys an enzyme which inhibits fragmentation of DNA
Destroys nuclear lamins leading to fragmentation of the nucleus Destroys cytoskeletal proteins leading to membrane blebbing and cell fragmentation |
|
Bcl-2
|
Prevents leakage of cytochrome from mitochondria
Anti-apoptotic Inhibits caspase activation |
|
Bad, Bax, Bak, Bid
|
Comprise the Bcl-2 family
Pro-apoptotic Dimerize with Bcl-2 and inhibit it's fuction Activate caspases |
|
Mitochondria Pathway
|
Cell Death
Cytochrome activates Caspase-9 Apaf-1 binds to caspase-9 and promotes its activation Caspase-9 cleaves and activates Caspase-3 Caspase-3 destroys cell |
|
Receptor Pathway
|
Membrane receptors bind TNF or FasL and send a message to cytoplasm to activate Caspase-8 which cleaves and activates Bid(pro-apoptotic). Caspase-8 moves to mitochondria where it dimerizes and inhibits Bcl-2. Cytochrome C then escapes mitochondria and initiates apoptotic pathway in cell.
|
|
Cell Survival Signaling
|
Signaling pathways actively inhibit apoptosis
Phosphoinosital 3-kinase phosphorylates PIP2 to PIP3 Akt and PDK-1 bind PIP3 and are activated Active Akt phosphorylates Bad in cytoplasm to P-Bad. P-Bad is recognized and degraded by proteases. No Bad means no apoptosis. Active Akt also produces transcription factors and GSK-3 which activates other pro-life factors. |
|
Mechanism of Apoptosis
|
Signaling
Control and Integration Execution Removal of dead cells |
|
Signaling in Apoptosis
|
Variety of Signals:
Intrinsic programmed event(developmental ie. webbing b/t fingers) Lack of growth factors Specific rector-ligand interactions Exposure to a toxic agent (radiation) |
|
Control & Integration
|
Signal transduction pathways connect original external death signal to the final execution program
Caspase-9 and Apaf-1 Adaptor Proteins PI 3-Kinase Pathway |
|
Execution
|
Protein cleavage by caspases
DNA breakdown |
|
Removal of dead cells
|
Markers on cell surface
Flipping of phosphatidiylserine from the cytoplasmic membrane to the extracellular surface No leakage of cytoplasmic content-->no immune response |
|
Role of Apoptosis in Cancer
|
Apoptosis is inhibited due
mutation of p53 protein which prevents inhibition of BAX |
|
Role of Apoptosis in HIV/AIDS
|
Inhibition of apoptosis in infected cells so that HIV can use cells as incubators
Apoptosis in uninfected CD4+ T lymphocytes Apoptosis in CD8 T lymphocytes (cells which eliminate foreign cells) Apoptosis in brain neurons (massive cell loss) |
