Granzyme A cleaves a mitochondrial complex I protein to initiate caspase-independent cell death.

Martinvalet D, Dykxhoorn DM, Ferrini R, Lieberman J

The killer lymphocyte protease granzyme A (GzmA) triggers caspase-independent target cell death with morphological features of apoptosis. We previously showed that GzmA acts directly on mitochondria to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and disrupt the transmembrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) but does not permeabilize the mitochondrial outer membrane. Mitochondrial damage is critical to GzmA-induced cell death since cells treated with superoxide scavengers ... [more]
