Abstract
General Information
BACKGROUND/TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Enzyme Evaluation Protocol (general)
This protocol can be used to measure caspase enzyme activity. A synthetic fluorogenic peptide, e. g. Ac-DEVD-AMC (Prod. No.
ALX-260-031
) is used as the caspase enzyme substrate. The enzyme cleaves the substrate releasing the fluorescent AMC. AMC release can be measured by spectrofluorometry using UV.
1. Add 20µM of Ac-DEVD-AMC to 1 ml of assay buffer (20mM PIPES, pH 7.2, 100mM sodium chloride, 10mM DTT, 1mM EDTA, 0.1% (w/v) CHAPS, 10% sucrose). Add the appropriate amount of active caspase to the mixture (e.g. 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.

General Information
Caspase-4 is a member of the caspase family of cysteine proteases. It exists in cells as an inactive pro-enzyme. The pro-enzyme is matured by proteolysis to yield large and small subunits. The active enzyme is a heterotetramer consisting of two large and two small subunits. The expressed caspase-4 spontaneously undergoes auto-processing to yield subunits characteristic of the native enzyme. The active caspase-4 is routinely tested for its ability to enzymatically cleave the substrate WEHD-AFC or WEHD-pNA.

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.
