Biochem/physiol Actions

Caspases are cysteine aspartic proteases that play a central role in apoptosis. Caspase 6 (Mch2) belongs to the group of effector caspases and is localized downstream of caspase 3. It has been suggested that caspase 6 is implicated in Alzheimer′s disease.
Caspase 6 proenzyme is expressed in E. coli as a C-terminal histidine-tagged protein. It undergoes autoactivation and autoprocessing to 21 and 19 kDa proteins (large subunits), and 14 kDa protein (small subunit). Substrate specificity studies show a favorable interaction of caspase 6 with peptides containing Val in P46. Thus, Ac-VEID-pNA is used as chromogenic substrate for caspase 6.

Physical form

Other Notes

One unit will cleave 1 nmole of Ac-VEID-pNA per minute at 25 °C at pH 7.4.

So far nine human aspartate-specific cysteine proteases (ASCPs) have been identified and cloned in our lab and others. Their sequence and structural homology to the nematode Ced-3 implicated them in the cell death pathway of mammalian cells. Recent evidence suggests

Caspases play a central role in the execution phase of apoptosis and are responsible for many of the morphological features normally associated with this form of cell death. Caspases can activate one another and consequently can initiate specific caspase cascades.

Neuronal cell death, neurofibrillary tangles, and amyloid beta peptide (Abeta) deposition depict Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, but neuronal loss correlates best with dementia. We have shown that increased production of Abeta is a consequence of neuronal apoptosis, suggesting that apoptosis

The observation that the nematode cell death effector gene product Ced-3 is homologous to human interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme (caspase-1) has led to the discovery of at least nine other human caspases, many of which are implicated as mediators of apoptosis. Significant

We have developed a PCR approach to clone new apoptotic Ced-3/Ice-like cysteine protease genes. This approach uses degenerate oligonucleotides encoding the highly conserved pentapeptides QACRG and GSWFI that are present in all known apoptotic cysteine proteases. Using this approach, we
