Most protein phosphatases have little intrinsic substrate specificity, making selective pharmacological inhibition of specific dephosphorylation reactions a challenging problem. In screen for small molecules that protect cells from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, we identified salubrinal, inhibitor cellular complexes dephosphorylate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha (eIF2alpha). Salubrinal also blocks eIF2alpha mediated by herpes simplex virus and inhibits viral...
Calpains and caspases are two cysteine protease families that play important roles in regulating pathological cell death. Here, we report m-calpain may be responsible for cleaving procaspase-12, a caspase localized the ER, to generate active caspase-12. In addition, calpain loop region Bcl-xL and, therefore, turning an antiapoptotic molecule into proapoptotic molecule. We propose disturbance intracellular calcium storage as result of ischemic injury or amyloid β peptide cytotoxicity induce...
We examined the expression, activation, and cellular localization of caspase-3 (CPP32) using immunohistochemistry, immunoblots, cleavage fluorogenic substrate N-benzyloxycarbonyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin (zDEVD-afc) in adult mouse brain after temporary (2 hr) middle cerebral artery occlusion produced by filament insertion into carotid artery. Immunoreactive caspase-3p32 but not its product caspase-3p20 was constitutively expressed neurons throughout most prominent...
The interleukin 1β converting enzyme (ICE) family plays a pivotal role in programmed cell death and has been implicated stroke neurodegenerative diseases. During reperfusion after filamentous middle cerebral artery occlusion, ICE-like cleavage products tissue immunoreactive (IL-1β) levels increased ischemic mouse brain. Ischemic injury decreased intracerebroventricular injections of protease inhibitors, N -benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (z-VAD.FMK),...
