The protein Par-4 acts in the cytoplasm to trigger cell death signaling via caspase activation and the mitochondrial release of cytochrome c. Burikhanov et al. (2009) now provide surprising evidence that Par-4 can also promote apoptosis from outside the cell, after its secretion in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
蛋白质Par-4在细胞质中发挥作用,通过激活半胱天冬酶和细胞色素c从线粒体释放来触发细胞死亡信号。Burikhanov等人(2009年)现在提供了惊人的证据,表明Par-4在因内质网应激而分泌后,也能从细胞外促进细胞凋亡。
