At the onset of apoptosis it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain. Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9. Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin. Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage. Publication Abstract from PubMed Individual roles and overlapping functionalities of 12 human caspases during apoptosis and other cellular processes remain poorly resolved primarily due to a lack of chemical tools. Here we present a new selective caspase-3 inhibitor, termed Ac-ATS010-KE, with rapid and irreversible binding kinetics. Relative to previously designed caspase-3-selective molecules that have tremendously abated inhibitory rates and thus limited use in biological settings, the improved kinetics of Ac-ATS010-KE permits its use in a cell-based capacity. We demonstrate that Ac-ATS010-KE prevents apoptosis with comparable efficacy to the general caspase inhibitor Ac-DEVD-KE and surprisingly does so without side-chain methylation. This observation is in contrast to the well-established peptide modification strategy typically employed for improving cellular permeability. Ac-ATS010-KE protects against extrinsic apoptosis, which demonstrates the utility of a thiophene carboxylate leaving group in biological settings, challenges the requisite neutralization of free carboxylic acids to improve cell permeability, and provides a tool-like compound to interrogate the role of caspase-3 in a variety of cellular processes.
