Abstract excerpt
Prostate apoptosis response-4 (Par-4) is a 38-kDa protein originally identified as a gene product upregulated in prostate cancer cells undergoing apoptosis. Cell death mediated by Par-4 and its interaction partner DAP like kinase (Dlk) is characterized by dramatic changes of the cytoskeleton. To uncover the role of the cytoskeleton in Par-4/Dlk-mediated apoptosis, we analyzed Par-4 for a direct association with...
