, caspase-6 spontaneously undergoes autoprocessing to yield the subunits characteristic of the active enzyme.
The rate of caspase-6 enzymatic hydrolysis can be measured by the release of AMC from the caspase substrate Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No.
ALX-260-031
) as emission at 440nm and excitation at 380nm using a spectrofluorometer [1].
BACKGROUND/TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Enzyme Evaluation Protocol
This protocol is used to measure caspase enzyme activity [1]. The synthetic fluorogenic peptide Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No.
ALX-260-031
) is used as the caspase enzyme substrate. The enzyme cleaves the substrate releasing the fluorescent AMC (7-amino-4-methylcoumarin). AMC release can be measured by spectrofluorometry using UV.
1. Add 20mM of Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No.
ALX-260-031
) to 1ml of assay buffer (20mM PIPES, 100mM sodium chloride, 10mM DTT, 1mM EDTA, 0.1% (w/v) CHAPS, 10% sucrose, pH 7.2). Add the appropriate amount of active caspase to the mixture (50ng/ml).
2. Incubate for 1 hour at 37°C.
3. Measure the AMC liberated from the Ac-DEVD-AMC using a spectrofluorometer with an excitation wavelength of 380nm and an emission wavelength of 440nm.
Note:
Enzyme activity can also be measured using the caspase enzyme substrate Ac-DEVD-pNA (Prod. No.
ALX-260-033
) at 37°C in a spectromax at 405nm wavelength.

General Information
Caspase-9 (also known as Ice-Lap6 and Mch6) is a member of the interleukin-1
b converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. Similar as other caspases, caspase-9 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During the initiation of apoptosis procaspase-9 is processed at aspartate residues to form active caspase-9. As one of the initiator caspases, active caspase-9 functions to trigger the activation of downstream effector caspases, leading to disassembly of cell structures. The active recombinant caspase-9 is routinely tested for its ability to enzymatically cleave the caspase-9 colorimetric substrate Ac-LEHD-pNA (Prod. No.
ALX-260-081
).

General Information
Caspase-1 is the prototypical member of the caspase family of cysteine proteases. Caspase-1 exists in cells as an inactive 45kDa pro-enzyme. The pro-enzyme is matured by proteolysis to yield large (20kDa) and small (10kDa) subunits. The active enzyme is a heterotetramer consisting of two large and two small subunits. To date the mechanism of regulation of caspase-1 activation is complex and poorly understood. In THP-1 cells, a large proportion of the caspase-1 is present in the inactive pro-enzyme form.

General Information
Caspase-2 is a member of the interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. Similar as other caspases, caspase-2 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During apoptosis, procaspase-2 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by upstream caspases. The processed form of caspase-2 consists of large (19kDa) and small (12kDa) subunits which associate to form the active enzyme. The expressed caspase-2 spontaneously undergoes auto-processing to yield the subunits characteristic of the native enzyme. The active recombinant caspase-2 is routinely tested for its ability to enzymatically cleave the caspase-2 colorimetric substrate Ac-VDVAD-pNA (Prod. No.
ALX-260-059
). The signal can be detected by spectrophotometry.

General Information
Caspase-3 is a member of the interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. It exists in cells as an inactive 32kDa proenzyme. During apoptosis procaspase-3 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by upstream caspases, such as caspase-6, caspase-8 and granzyme B. The processed form of caspase-3 consists of large (17kDa) and small (11kDa) subunits which associate to form the active enzyme. Active caspase-3 has been shown involved in the proteolysis of several important molecules, such as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), the sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and others.

General Information
Caspase-6 (also known as Mch2) is a member of the interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE) family of cysteine proteases. Same as other caspases, caspase-6 also exists in cells as an inactive proenzyme. During apoptosis procaspase-6 is processed at aspartate residues by self-proteolysis and/or cleavage by another caspase. The processed form of caspase-6 consists of large (18kDa) and small (11kDa) subunits which associate to form the active enzyme. The active caspase-6 has been shown involving in the proteolysis of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), an enzyme that is involved in DNA repair and genomic maintenance.
