3.4.22.55 D316A/D330A abolishes auto-processing and reduces enzymatic activity dramatically, 840fold decrease in activity 664882 3.4.22.55 additional information caspase prodomain-DELTA25 mutant is slightly less effective than wild-type caspase-2, inducing cell death of about 70% of transfected cells. Caspase prodomain-DELTA25 mutant cannot kill due to its impaired nuclear localization 647762 3.4.22.55 C320A catalytic residue, inactive mutant enzyme 713154 3.4.22.55 C303A catalytically inactive 665588 3.4.22.55 C320A catalytically inactive 732048 3.4.22.55 S139An expression of mutant S139A leads to significantly enhanced growth rate of cells 732048 3.4.22.55 C320A forms a dimer only when cell are treated with DRB 664753 3.4.22.55 D316A fusion of the linker to the large subunit, toxic when expressed in yeast 664882 3.4.22.55 D330A fusion of the linker to the small subunit, slightly greater deleterious effect on enzyme activity than fusion to the large subunit (D316A), toxic when expressed in yeast 664882 3.4.22.55 C303A inactive 664882 3.4.22.55 additional information knockdown of caspase-2 and overexpression of a caspase-2 mutant 717457 3.4.22.55 K152A mutant enzyme with strikingly altered caspase-2 localization. Whereas caspase-2 characteristically accumulates in the nucleus forming dots or filaments, the mutant enzyme is mostly localized outside and exclusively of the nucleus forming dot-like aggregates. K152A mutants can also kill transfected cells at comparable levels to the wild-type version 647762 3.4.22.55 S157A/C320A nonphosphorylatable, dimerizes constitutively 664753 3.4.22.55 S135A phosphorylation site 711848 3.4.22.55 S340A phosphorylation site, expression of mutant S340A more than doubles the sensitivity of cells to nocodazole-induced mitotic death compared with wild-type protein 711848 3.4.22.55 S308A phosphorylation site, S308 phosphorylated in mitosis, abrogates mitotic suppression, processing of mutant S308A in mitosis does not occur immediately, but rather occurs with roughly the same kinetics as wild-type caspase-2 in interphase 711848 3.4.22.55 S135A phosphorylation site, suppressed equally compared with wild type protein during mitosis 711848 3.4.22.55 D152A pro-caspase mutant, like the wild-type, this mutant is efficiently processed between the large and the small subunit, however, it is not further processed to seperate the prodomain from the large subunit 664882 3.4.22.55 S135A/S308A rapidly processed in mitosis compared with caspase-2 S308A mutant 711848 3.4.22.55 T380A site-directed mutagenesis 717846 3.4.22.55 T380A/Y420A site-directed mutagenesis 717846 3.4.22.55 Y420A site-directed mutagenesis 717846 3.4.22.55 D316G uncleavable 665588
