Biochemical Activity (Proteolytic Processing)

An interaction is inferred from the biochemical effect of one protein upon another, for example, GTP-GDP exchange activity or phosphorylation of a substrate by a kinase. The bait protein executes the activity on the substrate hit protein. A Modification value is recorded for interactions of this type with the possible values Phosphorylation, Ubiquitination, Sumoylation, Dephosphorylation, Methylation, Prenylation, Acetylation, Deubiquitination, Proteolytic Processing, Glucosylation, Nedd(Rub1)ylation, Deacetylation, No Modification, Demethylation.

Executioner caspase-3 and caspase-7 are functionally distinct proteases.

Walsh JG, Cullen SP, Sheridan C, Luethi AU, Gerner C, Martin SJ

Members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases play central roles in coordinating the stereotypical events that occur during apoptosis. Because the major executioner caspases, caspase-3 and caspase-7, exhibit almost indistinguishable activity toward certain synthetic peptide substrates, this has led to the widespread view that these proteases occupy functionally redundant roles within the cell death machinery. However, the distinct phenotypes ... [more]
