Mutational analysis of proapoptotic ARTS P-loop domain in common human cancers.

Abstract excerpt

Mounting evidence indicates that deregulation of apoptosis is involved in mechanisms of cancer development. ARTS is released from mitochondria into the cytosol during apoptosis, promoting caspase activation by neutralizing the inhibition of inhibitor of apoptotic protein (IAP) on caspases. ARTS contains a P-loop GTP-binding domain, which is essential for the apoptotic function of ARTS. The aim of this study was...
