The PIDDosome (PIDD-RAIDD-caspase-2 complex) is considered to be the primary signaling platform for caspase-2 activation in response to genotoxic stress. Yet studies of PIDD-deficient mice show that caspase-2 activation can proceed in the absence of PIDD. Here we show that DNA damage induces the assembly of at least two distinct activation platforms for caspase-2: a cytoplasmic platform that is RAIDD dependent but PIDD independent, and a nucleolar platform that requires both PIDD and RAIDD. Furthermore, the nucleolar phosphoprotein nucleophosmin (NPM1) acts as a scaffold for PIDD and is essential for PIDDosome assembly in the nucleolus after DNA damage. Inhibition of NPM1 impairs caspase-2 processing, apoptosis, and caspase-2-dependent inhibition of cell growth, demonstrating that the NPM1-dependent nucleolar PIDDosome is a key initiator of the caspase-2 activation cascade. Thus we have identified the nucleolus as a novel site for caspase-2 activation and function.
PIDDosome(PIDD-RAIDD-半胱天冬酶-2复合物)被认为是响应基因毒性应激时半胱天冬酶-2激活的主要信号平台。然而,对PIDD基因缺陷小鼠的研究表明,在没有PIDD的情况下半胱天冬酶-2的激活仍可进行。在此我们表明,DNA损伤诱导了至少两个不同的半胱天冬酶-2激活平台的组装:一个细胞质平台,其依赖于RAIDD但不依赖于PIDD;以及一个核仁平台,其需要PIDD和RAIDD两者。此外,核仁磷蛋白核仁素(NPM1)作为PIDD的支架,并且在DNA损伤后对于核仁中PIDDosome的组装至关重要。抑制NPM1会损害半胱天冬酶-2的加工、凋亡以及半胱天冬酶-2依赖性的细胞生长抑制,表明NPM1依赖性的核仁PIDDosome是半胱天冬酶-2激活级联反应的关键启动子。因此,我们已确定核仁是半胱天冬酶-2激活和发挥功能的一个新位点。
