Term:activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process
go back to main search page
Accession:GO:0006919 term browser browse the term
Definition:Any process that initiates the activity of the inactive enzyme cysteine-type endopeptidase in the context of an apoptotic process.
Comment:This term should be used when the annotation refers to a process that occurs in a context of apoptotic cell death. To annotate gene products involved in activation of cysteine-type endopeptidases in other cellular process (e.g., cell cycle arrest) that do not necessarily develop into an apoptotic process, please use the more general parent term GO:0097202. Examples of 'activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process' are cytochrome c and Apaf1. When cytochrome c is released from mitochondria and forms a complex with Apaf1, they form a scaffolding platform in which the pro-caspase 9 is bound (the 'apoptosome'). The caspase is then cleaved and activated. Cytochrome c and Apaf1 are therefore involved in the conversion of the zymogen procaspase 9 to the active form of the caspase.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: caspase activation
 narrow_synonym: activation of caspase activity;   activation of metacaspase activity
