OX NCBI_TaxID=9615; RN [1] RP NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE [MRNA]. RX PubMed=15187371; DOI=10.1292/jvms.66.563; RA Sano J., Oguma K., Kano R., Hasegawa A.; RT "Characterization of canine caspase-3."; RL J. Vet. Med. Sci. 66:563-567(2004). CC -!- FUNCTION: Involved in the activation cascade of caspases CC responsible for apoptosis execution. At the onset of apoptosis it CC proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) at a CC '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond. Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory CC element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop- CC helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain. CC Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9 (By similarity). CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Strict requirement for an Asp residue at CC positions P1 and P4. It has a preferred cleavage sequence of Asp- CC Xaa-Xaa-Asp-|- with a hydrophobic amino-acid residue at P2 and a CC hydrophilic amino-acid residue at P3, although Val or Ala are also CC accepted at this position. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer that consists of two anti-parallel CC arranged heterodimers, each one formed by a 17 kDa (p17) and a 12 CC kDa (p12) subunit (By similarity). CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. CC -!- PTM: Cleavage by granzyme B, caspase-6, -8 and -10 generates the CC two active subunits. Additional processing of the propeptides is CC likely due to the autocatalytic activity of the activated CC protease. Active heterodimers between the small subunit of CC caspase-7 protease and the large subunit of caspase-3 also occur CC and vice versa (By similarity). CC -!- PTM: S-nitrosylated on its catalytic site cysteine in unstimulated CC human cell lines and denitrosylated upon activation of the Fas CC apoptotic pathway, associated with an increase in intracellular CC caspase activity. Fas therefore activates caspase-3 not only by CC inducing the cleavage of the caspase zymogen to its active CC subunits, but also by stimulating the denitrosylation of its CC active site thiol (By similarity). CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase C14A family.
