---|---|---|---|
additional information | procaspase-10 is proteolytically activated to caspase-10, mechanism of activation and the role of the inter-subunit cleavage, overview. Caspase-10 follows the proximity-induced dimerization model for apical caspases. Chemically inducible dimerization fusions activate the wild-type but not the cleavage site mutant caspase-10 | Homo sapiens | |
Sodium citrate | activates the wild-type enzyme up to 500fold and the D297A mutant 100fold at up to 1.0 M, is inhibitory above probably due to precipitation | Homo sapiens |

the caspase-10 gene is linked to the caspase-8 gene, EC 3.4.22.61, at the human chromosome locus 2q33-34. Expression of His-tagged truncated mutant, with and without the D279A mutation, in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) | Homo sapiens |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
D297A | site-directed mutagenesis, the single mutation D297A completely abrogates autocleavage between the subunits, the purified mutant is a single chain of 35 kDa. The cleavage site mutant has restricted specificity and highly reduced activity on protein substrates, overview | Homo sapiens |
additional information | construction of a truncated mutant lacking the first 202 residues, and of the truncation mutant with a substitution D297A in the catalytic site, cloning into a vector with chimeric protein with an N-terminal His-tag followed by the Fv-domain. Chemically inducible dimerization fusions activate the wild-type but not the cleavage site mutant caspase-10 | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | human caspase-10 and caspase-8, EC 3.4.22.61, are highly homologous in their protein sequence, 46% identical in the catalytic domain, and their genes are on the same region of human chromosome 2q33-34 suggesting that they have a common ancestor | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that requires members of a family of aspartate-specific cysteine proteases, called caspases, to both initiate and execute the apoptotic phenotype | Homo sapiens |
additional information | residue D297 is essential for autocleavage, while even though the sequence surrounding D319 is compatible for cleavage by caspase-10, its location close to the compact core makes it unavailable for cleavage | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | prodeath role for both cleaved and uncleaved caspase-10 | Homo sapiens |
