124 results about "Caspase" patented technology

Caspases (cysteine-aspartic proteases, cysteine aspartases or cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) are a family of protease enzymes playing essential roles in programmed cell death (including apoptosis, pyroptosis and necroptosis) and inflammation. They are named caspases due to their specific cysteine protease activity – a cysteine in its active site nucleophilically attacks and cleaves a target protein only after an aspartic acid residue. As of 2009, there are 11 or 12 confirmed caspases in humans and 10 in mice, carrying out a variety of cellular functions.

Catalytic inhibitor of protein phosphatase 5 activates the extrinsic apoptotic pathway by disrupting complex ii

Protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) is a serine / threonine protein phosphatase involved in the maturation and activation of numerous signaling pathways essential for cancer growth. PP5 activity is essential for the survival of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), however the mechanism remains unclear. Data demonstrates that PP5 interacts with caspase-8, FADD, and RIPK1, components of extrinsic apoptotic pathway Complex II. Specifically, PP5 dephosphorylates and inactivates the death effector proteins RIPK1 and FADD, preserving Complex II integrity and regulating extrinsic apoptosis. Protein phosphatases are considered to be ‘undruggable,’ however we have developed a specific inhibitor of PP5 (P-053) that prevents substrate binding to the active site. Encouragingly, PP5 inhibition using P-53 in VHL-null ccRCC robustly induces extrinsic apoptosis. Taken together, the data suggests that PP5 promotes ccRCC survival by suppressing extrinsic apoptosis, and small molecule inhibition of PP5 presents a viable therapeutic strategy for ccRCC.
