Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The CARD (caspase recruitment domain) domain is present in a large number of proteins. Initially the CARD domain was recognized as part of the caspase activation machinery. CARD-CARD interactions play a role in apoptosis and are responsible for the Apaf-1 mediated activation of procaspase-9 in the apoptosome. CARD-containing proteins mediate the inflammasome-dependent activation of pro-inflammatory caspase-1. More recently new roles for CARD-containing proteins have been reported in signaling pathways associated with immune responses. The functional role of CARD-containing proteins and CARD domains in coordinating apoptosis, inflammatory and immune responses is not completely understood. We have explored the putative crosstalk between apoptosis and inflammation by analyzing the modulatory activity on both the Apaf-1/procaspase-9 interaction and the inflammasome-mediated procaspase-1 activation of CARD-derived polypeptides. To this end we analyzed the activity of individual recombinant CARD domains, rational designed CARD-derived peptides and peptides derived from phage display.
