Molecular cloning and expression of caspase from white shrimp Penaeus merguiensis
TL;DR: The recombinant CAP-3 protein prepared from Escherichia coli had enzymatic activity when assayed using a luminescent substrate specific for the cleavage target site for human caspase-3, implying thatCAP-3 functioned as casp enzyme-3.

Dimeric procaspase-3 unfolds via a four-state equilibrium process.
Kakoli Bose,A.C. Clark +1 more
TL;DR: First, dimerization of procaspase-3 occurs as a result of the association of two monomeric folding intermediates, demonstrating that procaspases-3Dimerization is a folding event and the stability of the dimer contributes significantly to the conformational free energy of the protein.

Use of fluorescently labeled caspase inhibitors as affinity labels to detect activated caspases.
TL;DR: The stathmo-apoptotic method was developed, therefore, that allows one to assay cumulative apoptotic index over long period of time and estimate the rate of cell entry into apoptosis for large cell populations.

Caspase-3 and -6 Expression and Enzyme Activity in Hen Granulosa Cells
TL;DR: It was determined that okadaic acid, a pharmacologic inducer of apoptotic cell death in cultured apoptosis-resistant, preovulatory follicle granulosa cells, induced both caspase-3- and caspases-6-like activity within 8–16 h of treatment.

Structural and kinetic analysis of caspase-3 reveals role for s5 binding site in substrate recognition.
TL;DR: The molecular basis for the substrate specificity of human caspase-3 has been investigated using peptide analog inhibitors and substrates that vary at the P2, P3, and P5 positions, and the kinetic importance of hydrophobic P5 residues was confirmed.
