Membrane and morphological changes in apoptotic cells regulated by caspase-mediated activation of PAK2

Science
T Rudel, G M Bokoch

Abstract

Apoptosis of Jurkat T cells induced the caspase-mediated proteolytic cleavage of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2). Cleavage occurred between the amino-terminal regulatory domain and the carboxyl-terminal catalytic domain, which generated a constitutively active PAK2 fragment. Stable Jurkat cell lines that expressed a dominant-negative PAK mutant were resistant to the Fas-induced formation of apoptotic bodies, but had an enhanced externalization of phosphatidylserine at the cell surface. Thus, proteolytic activation of PAK2 represents a guanosine triphosphatase-independent mechanism of PAK regulation that allows PAK2 to regulate morphological changes that are seen in apoptotic cells.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
