Diarylurea Compounds Inhibit Caspase Activation by Preventing the Formation of the Active 700-Kilodalton Apoptosome Complex

Lademann, Ulrik, Cain, Kelvin, Gyrd-Hansen, Mads, Brown, David, Peters, Dan, Jäättelä, Marja

The release of mitochondrial proapoptotic proteins into the cytosol is the key event in apoptosis signaling, leading to the activation of caspases. Once in the cytosol, cytochrome c triggers the...

Apoptosome-Independent Activation of the Lysosomal Cell Death Pathway by Caspase-9▿ †

Gyrd-Hansen, Mads, Farkas, Thomas, Fehrenbacher, Nicole, Bastholm, Lone, Høyer-Hansen, Maria, Elling, Folmer, ...

The apoptosome, a heptameric complex of Apaf-1, cytochrome c, and caspase-9, has been considered indispensable for the activation of caspase-9 during apoptosis. By using a large panel of genetically...

Heat Shock Protein 70 Promotes Cell Survival by Inhibiting Lysosomal Membrane Permeabilization

Nylandsted, Jesper, Gyrd-Hansen, Mads, Danielewicz, Agnieszka, Fehrenbacher, Nicole, Lademann, Ulrik, Høyer-Hansen, Maria, ...

Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a potent survival protein whose depletion triggers massive caspase-independent tumor cell death. Here, we show that Hsp70 exerts its prosurvival function by...
