Ligation of CD40 rescues Ramos-Burkitt lymphoma B cells from calcium ionophore- and antigen receptor-triggered apoptosis by inhibiting activation of the cysteine protease CPP32/Yama and cleavage of its substrate PARP

Abstract:

The new and growing family of interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE) cysteine proteases are now recognised to be major effectors of cellular death by apoptosis. Like other members of this family, the CPP32/Yama proform is activated by processing to its active heterodimeric enzyme or apopain when it likely contributes to the process of apoptosis by cleaving poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and thereby inhibiting much of its DNA repair activity. Apoptosis plays a fundamental role in the regul...
