Protein Functional Features |
Main function of this protein. (from UniProt) |
| CASP8 (go to UniProt):Q14790 |
Retention analysis result of protein across 39 protein features of UniProt such as six molecule processing features, 13 region features, four site features, six amino acid modification features, two natural variation features, five experimental info features, and 3 secondary structure features. Here, because of limited space for viewing, we only show the protein feature retention information belong to the 13 regional features. All retention annotation result can be downloaded at * Minus value of BPloci means that the break pointn is located before the CDS. |

Protein Structures |
PDB and CIF files of the predicted protein structures * Here we show the 3D structure of the proteins using Mol*. AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Model confidence is shown from the pLDDT values per residue. pLDDT corresponds to the model’s prediction of its score on the local Distance Difference Test. It is a measure of local accuracy (from AlphfaFold website). To color code individual residues, we transformed individual PDB files into CIF format. |

| CASP8 | 10860845 | Dominant expression of a novel splice variant of caspase-8 in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. | Caspase-8 is an apical and critical proteolytic enzyme in the cascade of apoptosis. As a result of alternative splicing, the generation of at least 7 isoforms of caspase-8 has been reported. The existence of multiple isoforms that lack the essential domains for apoptosis suggests the possible role of these isoforms on the regulation of apoptosis. Here we report a novel longer isoform of caspase-8 (caspase-8L) that was generated by alternative splicing of intron 8, thereby carrying a 136-bp insertion and frame shift of the transcript. The transcript encoded N-terminal two repeats of death effector domain (DED) of caspase-8, but lacking the C-terminal half of the proteolytic domain. Reverse transcriptase (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed the dominant expression of caspase-8L transcript compared to the intact form of caspase-8 in human peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) and T cells. In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), imbalanced expression of caspase-8L transcript was identified. These results suggest the important role of caspase-8L in the modulation of apoptosis. | D008180 | Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic |
| CASP8 | 12010809 | Characterization of caspase-8L: a novel isoform of caspase-8 that behaves as an inhibitor of the caspase cascade. | Caspase-8 (Fas-associating protein with death domain-like interleukin-1beta- converting enzyme [FLICE]/MACH/Mch5) belongs to a family of cysteine proteases presumed to be the apex of the apoptotic signaling pathways. We recently reported the presence of a novel isoform of caspase-8, named caspase-8L, generated by the alternative splicing of human caspase-8 gene, from human peripheral blood lymphocytes by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. We herein report a functional analysis of caspase-8L in the Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway. Caspase-8L is missing the catalytic site of caspase-8 but retains 2 N-terminal repeats of the death-effector domain. The caspase-8L messenger RNA was detected in various tissues but not in any cell lines examined. In human peripheral blood lymphocytes, caspase-8L was strongly suggested to be expressed at the protein level. In MCF-7 cells, caspase-8L transfection itself did not affect cell viability but instead inhibited the apoptosis induced by the cotransfection of caspase-8 in a dominant negative manner. Moreover, Fas-mediated apoptosis was inhibited in caspase-8L-transfected Jurkat cells, which were associated with a reduction in the caspase-8 catalytic activity. In vitro binding assays demonstrated that caspase-8L bound to FADD (Fas-associating protein with death domain) and caspase-8a and blocked the binding of caspase-8 to FADD. In in vivo binding assays, transfected caspase-8L bound to endogenous FADD. Thus, caspase-8L acts as an inhibitor of caspase-8 by interfering with the binding of caspase-8 to FADD and is involved in the regulation of Fas-mediated apoptosis. | D001943 | Breast Neoplasms |
