Abstract excerpt
Ask1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) is activated as a consequence of cell exposure to a variety of stresses and can then initiate apoptosis. A known pathway of apoptosis downstream of Ask1 involves the activation of the stress-activated protein kinases, the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, the activation of caspases, and the fragmentation of nuclei. Here, we characterized a novel mechanism of...
