Question Answer
Apoptosome
start learning
INTRISIC PATHWAY: recruitment of pro-caspase 9 that will activation effector caspases
Apoptotic bodies
start learning
wrap in plasma membrane fragmentation
BCL-2 Family
start learning
INTRISIC PATHWAY: anti-apoptosis that inhibits BAX and BAK (part of the BCL-2 family) that are pro-apoptosis. Form a chain that leads to the release of cytochrome c, that associates with proteins, forming the Apoptosome.
Blebs
start learning
bubble-like protrusions  deformations of plasma membrane (stage of apoptosis)
Calpain
start learning
protease that cause the rupture of lysosomal membrane of the release of lysosome contents
Caspases
start learning
major effector in the apoptotic program that orchestrate all the morphologic changes. They are post-translationally regulated  pro-caspase  ligation  active
Cathepsin
start learning
the content liberated from the lysosome that causes cell death
Cytochrome release
start learning
due to the permeability of the mitochondrial membrane
Death Receptors
start learning
when bound to death ligands, recruits adaptor proteins, aggregation of casapase 8, activation of caspase 3 and 7, caspase cascade  death
Intrinsic apoptosis pathways
start learning
from within  extensive DNA damage in the nucleus
Extrinsic apoptosis pathways
start learning
from exterior  withdrawal of growth or reception of death receptor
Programmed cell death
start learning
cell intrinsic suicide pathways
