Kaspaza-3
Kaspaza-3 je kaspazni protein koji je u interakciji sa kaspazom-8 i kaspazom-9. Kodira ga gen "'CASP3"' koji se kod ljudi nalazi na hromosoma 4, sekvenca q35.1. CASP3 ortolozi[4] identificirani su kod brojnih sisara za koje su dostupni potpuni podaci o genomu. Jedinstveni ortolozi su također prisutni u ptica, guštera, Lissamphibia, i teleostea.
CASP3 protein je član porodice cistein-aspartata (kaspaza).[5] Sekvencna aktivacija kaspaza ima centralnu ulogu u fazi izvršenja ćelijske apoptoze. Kaspaze postoje kao neaktivni proenzimi koji se podvrgavaju proteolitskoj obradi na konzerviranim asparaginskim ostacima kako bi se proizvele dvije podjedinice, velika i mala, koje se dimeriziraju i formiraju aktivni enzim. Ovaj protein cijepa i aktivira kaspazu-6 i 7; a sam protein se obrađuje i aktivira kaspazama 8, 9 i 10. To je dominantna kaspaza uključena u cijepanje amiloid-beta 4A prekursorskog proteina, koja je povezana sa neuronskom smrću u Alzheimeromoj bolesti .[6] Alternativna prerada ovog gena rezultira u dvije varijante transkripta koje kodiraju isti protein.[7]
Kaspaza-3 dijeli mnoge tipske karakteristike zajedničke svim sada poznatim kaspazama. Naprimjer, njegovo aktivno mjesto sadrži cisteinski ostatak (Cys-163) i histidinski ostatak (His-121) koji stabiliziraju peptidnu vezu cijepanjem proteinske sekvence na karboksi-terminalnoj strani asparaginske kiseline kada je dio određene sekvence 4-amino kiseline.[9][10] Ova specifičnost omogućava kaspazama da budu nevjerovatno selektivne, sa 20.000 puta prednosti asparaginske kiseline u odnosu na glutaminsku.[11] Ključna karakteristika kaspaza u ćeliji je da su prisutne kao zimogeni, zvani prokaspaze, koje su neaktivne sve dok biohemijska promjena ne izazove njihovu aktivaciju. Svaka prokaspaza ima veliku N-terminalnu podjedinicu od oko 20 kDa, a zatim manju podjedinicu od oko 10 kDa, zvanu+e p20 i p10.[12]
Specifičnost supstrata
urediU normalnim okolnostima, kaspaze prepoznaju tetrapeptidne sekvence na svojim supstratima i hidroliziraju peptidne veze nakon ostataka asparaginske kiseline. Kaspaza 3 i kaspaza-7 dijele sličnu specifičnost supstrata, prepoznavanjem tetrapeptidnog motiva Asp-x-x-Asp.[13] C-terminal Asp je apsolutno neophodan dok se varijacije na ostala tri položaja mogu tolerisati.[14] Specifičnost supstrata kaspaze se široko koristi u kaspazi zasnovanoj na inhibitorima i dizajnu lijekova.[15]
Aminokiselinska sekvenca
urediDužina polipeptidnog lanca je 277 aminokiselina, a molekulska težina 31.608 Da.[15]

Struktura
urediKaspaza-3, posebno, (također poznata kao CPP32/Yama/apopain)[16][17][18] formira se od zimogena od 32 kDa koji se cijepa na podjedinice od 17 kDa i 12 kDa. Kada se prokapaza cijepa na određenom ostatku, aktivni heterotetramer se tada može formirati hidrofobnim interakcijama, uzrokujući da se četiri antiparalelna beta-lista od p17 i dva od p12 spoje kako bi napravili heterodimer, koji zauzvrat stupa u interakciju s drugim heterodimerom da formira punu 12-lančanu beta-listnu strukturu okruženu alfa-heliksima koja je jedinstvena za kaspaze.[12][19] Kada se heterodimeri poravnaju jedan s drugim, aktivno mjesto je pozicionirano na svakom kraju molekule formirane od ostataka iz obje sudioničke podjedinice, iako se neophodni ostaci Cys-163 i His-121 nalaze na p17 (većoj) podjedinici.[19]
Mehanizam
urediKatalitsko mjesto kaspaze-3 uključuje tiolnu grupu Cys-163 i imidazolski prsten His-121. His-121 stabilizira karbonil grupu ključnog aspartatnog ostatka, dok Cys-163 napada kako bi konačno cijepao peptidnu vezu. Cys-163 i Gly-238 takođe funkcionišu da stabilizuju tetraedarsko prijelazno stanje kompleksa supstrat-enzim putem vodikove veze.[19] In vitro, utvrđeno je da kaspaza -3 preferira peptidnu sekvencu DEVDG (Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-Gly) sa cijepanjem koje se događa na karboksi strani drugog ostatka asparaginske kiseline (između D i G).[20]
Aktivacija
urediKaspaza-3 se aktivira u apoptotskoj ćeliji i vanjskimim (ligand smrti) i unutrašnjim (mitohondrijskim) putevima.[12][21] The zymogen feature of caspase-3 is necessary because if unregulated, caspase activity would kill cells indiscriminately.[22] Kao egzekutorska kaspaza, zimogen kaspaze-3 nema praktično nikakvu aktivnost sve dok ga kaspaza inicijatora ne rascijepi nakon što su se dogodili događaji apoptotske signalizacije.[23] Jedan takav signalni događaj je uvođenje granzima B, koji može aktivirati inicijatorske kaspaze, u ćelije ciljane na apoptozu putem T-ćelija.[24][25] Ova vanjska aktivacija zatim pokreće osobenu kaspaznu kaskadu karakterističnu za apoptotski put, u kojoj kaspaza-3 ima dominantnu ulogu. U unutrašnjoj aktivaciji, citohrom c iz mitohondrija djeluje u kombinaciji sa kaspazom-9, faktorom 1 koji aktivira apoptozu (Apaf-1) i ATP za obradu prokapaze-3.[26] Ove molekule su dovoljne da aktiviraju kaspazu-3 in vitro, ali su neophodni i drugi regulatorni proteini in vivo.[26]
Pokazalo se da ekstrakt mangostina (Garcinia mangostana) inhibira aktivaciju kaspaze-3 u ljudskim neuronskim ćelijama tretiranim B-amiloidom.[27]
Inhibicija
urediJedan od načina inhibicije kaspaze je preko porodice proteina IAP (inhibitor apoptoze), koja uključuje c-IAP1, c-IAP2, XIAP i ML-IAP.[19] XIAP binds and inhibits initiator caspase-9, which is directly involved in the activation of executioner caspase-3.[26] Međutim, tokom kaskade kaspaze, kaspaza-3 funkcioniše tako da inhibira aktivnost XIAP, cijepajući kaspazu-9 na određenom mjestu, sprječavajući XIAP da se veže i inhibira aktivnost kaspaze-9.[28]
Interakcije
urediPokazalo se da je kaspaza-3 u interakciji sa:
Klinički značaj
urediUtvrđeno je da je kaspaza-3 neophodna za normalan razvoj mozga, kao i njenu tipsku ulogu u apoptozi, gdje je odgovorna za kondenzaciju hromatina i fragmentaciju DNK. Povišeni nivoi fragmenta kaspaze-3, p17, u krvotoku je znak nedavnog infarkta miokarda.[50] Sada je pokazano da kaspaza-3 može imati ulogu u embrionskoj i hematopoetskoj diferencijaciji matičnih ćelija.[51]
