Lengthening the Intersubunit Linker of Procaspase 3 Leads to Constitutive Activation
BIOCHEMISTRY, 52(36), 6219–6231.
MeSH headings : Apoptosis / physiology; Caspase 3 / chemistry; Caspase 3 / genetics; Caspase 3 / metabolism; Caspase Inhibitors / pharmacology; Catalytic Domain; Enzyme Activation; Enzyme Precursors / chemistry; Models, Chemical; Models, Molecular; Molecular Dynamics Simulation; Protein Conformation; Protein Multimerization
TL;DR:
The data show that releasing the strain of the short IL is not sufficient to populate the active conformer of the native ensemble, and it is shown that increasing the length of the IL by introducing 3-5 alanines results in constitutively active procaspases.
