Killer lymphocytes produce Fas ligand to bind to Fas protein (death receptor) on target cells ? Adaptor proteins aggregate caspase 8, which crossactivate Some damaged cells produce both Fas ligand and Fas protein for selfdestruction Extrinsic pathway APOPTOSIS: control Intrinsic pathway (damage): Mitochondria Cytochrome c release Procaspase 9 cleavage Proexecution caspase (3) cleavage Caspase (3) cleavage of cellular proteins, nuclease activation, etc. Death BAX BAK BOK BCLXs BAD BID B IK BIM NIP3 BNIP3 BCL2 BCLXL BCLW MCL1 BFL1 DIVA NR13 Several viral proteins Activation of Apoptosis from Inside the Cell Intrinsic pathway When cells are damaged: ? Mitochondria release cytochrome c ? In cytosol, cytochrome c binds to Apaf1 (adaptor protein) ? Apaf1 aggregates of procaspase 9 ? p53 activates transcription of Bcl2 family Bcl2 Family Proteins and IAP proteins Regulates Apoptosis Members of the Bcl2 family have different roles: ? Bcl2, BclX, etc: Inhibit apoptosis by blocking cytochrome c release ? Bad: Promotes apoptosis by binding to and inactivating Bcl2, BclX, etc, ? Bax, Bak, etc: Stimulate the release of cytochrome c The IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis) family inhibit apoptosis: ? Bind to procaspases to prevent their activations ? Bind to caspases to prevent their activity Mitochrondria release cytochrome c AND inhibitors of IAP to fully start the apoptosis Cell proliferation 謝 謝 ! Thanks for your kind attention
