DNA-dependent protein kinase is one of a subset of autoantigens specifically cleaved early during apoptosis.
1 Dec 1995
Abstract excerpt
Proteolytic cleavage of key substrates appears to be an important biochemical mechanism underlying the apoptotic process, and the centrality of interleukin 1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE)-like proteases as mediators of apoptosis has been suggested. The identification of the relevant substrates of the ICE protease family during apoptosis therefore constitutes a major challenge. Using human autoantibodies, we...
