| Post Translational Modifications | Cleavages at Asp-353 by granzyme B and at Asp-368 by caspase-3 generate the two active subunits. Caspase-8 and -10 can also be involved in these processing events. Phosphorylated at Thr-163 by MAPK1/ERK2. Phosphorylation at Thr-163 is sufficient to block caspase-9 processing and subsequent caspase-3 activation. Phosphorylation on Tyr-191 by ABL1/c-Abl.occurs in the response of cells to DNA damage. Ubiquitinated by BIRC6.this activity is inhibited by DIABLO/SMAC. |
| Function | Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Binding of caspase-9 to Apaf-1 leads to activation of the protease which then cleaves and activates effector caspases caspase-3 (CASP3) or caspase-7 (CASP7). Promotes DNA damage-induced apoptosis in a ABL1/c-Abl-dependent manner. Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Cleaves BIRC6 following inhibition of BIRC6-caspase binding by DIABLO/SMAC. |
