Abstract excerpt
HtrA2, a complex trimeric pyramidal mitochondrial serine protease that regulates critical biological functions and diseases, including apoptosis and cancer, is a promising therapeutic target. It promotes apoptosis through multiple pathways, complex mechanisms of which are still elusive. The existing model of activation that emphasizes relative intramolecular movements between C-terminal PDZ and protease domains...
