Abstract excerpt
Treatment of cells with a synthetic conjugate of DXR with GSH via glutaraldehyde (GSH-DXR) caused cytochrome c to be released from the mitochondria to the cytosol following potent activation of caspase-3 and -9 by typical DNA fragmentation. This apoptosis was regulated by the JNK-signaling pathway. In the present experiment, binding of GSH-DXR to GST P1-1 allosterically led to the disappearance of its enzyme...
