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.

Product Description
Based on the detection of AFC (7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin) after cleavage from the labelled substrate YVAD-AFC.
General Information
YVAD-AFC emits blue light (λmax = 400nm); upon cleavage of the substrate by caspase-1 or related caspases, free AFC emits a yellow-green fluorescence (λmax = 505nm), which can be quantified using a fluorometer or a fluorecence microtiter plate reader. Comparison of the fluorescence of AFC from a treated sample with an untreated control allows determination of the fold increase in caspase-1 activity.

Abstract

Full Text
General Information
Capases are a highly conserved family of cysteine proteases and are synthesized as inactive zymogens, which are cleaved at Asp-x sites during apoptosis, generating large and small subunits that heterodimerize to form the active enzyme. Caspase-1 is a member of the ICE/CED-3 family of caspases and is detected in the pro-form as a protein of 45 kDa.
Caspase-1 generates the bioactive form of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β from its biologically inactive precursor. Overexpression of caspase-1 in cells induces apoptosis, which can be inhibited by cytokine response modifier A (CrmA). Caspase-1 mRNA is predominantly expressed in the spleen and lung and to a lesser extent in skeletal muscle, kidney, testis and heart and within these tissues macrophages preferentially express caspase-1. Caspase-1 deficient mice have no gross abnormalities, however, macrophages from caspase-1-deficient mice are defective in IL-β processing and release.
