Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information caspase-8 activation involves dimerization and subsequent interdomain autoprocessing of caspase-8 zymogens, mechanism, overview. The inactive caspase-8 paralogue FLIPL is able to activate caspase-8 by heterodimerization Mus musculus

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression of FK506-binding protein-caspase-8 fusion protein mutants in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) as N-terminal His-tagged constructs using pET28b. Co-expression of caspase-8 and FLIPL in HeLa cells, the active-site cleft is restricted in caspase-8-FLIPL heterodimers Mus musculus

L122S site-directed mutagenesis, a solubilization mutant Mus musculus
additional information homodimerization fully activates both mature caspase-8 and the site-2 mutant, but fails to activate variants containing noncleavable mutations at site-1. The caspase-8 site-1 mutant is incapable of binding Z-VAD-fluoromethylketone when introduced into caspase-8-null NB7 cells, and stimulated to die via the extrinsic pathway. Elimination of the autoprocessing site of caspase-8 abrogates its pro-apoptotic function while leaving its proliferative function intact. Non-cleavable caspase-8-FLIPL heterodimer has attenuated activity on most apoptotic substrates, but shows high activity on HDAC-7 Mus musculus
