Caspase-9 (CASP9) is a key cysteine-aspartic protease involved in the intrinsic apoptosis pathway, a programmed cell death mechanism essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and eliminating damaged or malignant cells. As an initiator caspase, CASP9 is activated through the mitochondrial pathway, triggered by cellular stress signals such as DNA damage or oxidative stress. Its activation occurs within the apoptosome, a multi-protein complex formed by cytochrome c released from mitochondria, apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (APAF1), and ATP. Procaspase-9 undergoes conformational changes upon apoptosome binding, leading to its autocatalytic cleavage and subsequent activation. Once active, CASP9 cleaves and activates downstream effector caspases (e.g., CASP3 and CASP7), which execute apoptosis by degrading cellular substrates.
Recombinant CASP9 protein is produced via genetic engineering, typically expressed in bacterial (e.g., *E. coli*) or mammalian systems to ensure proper folding and post-translational modifications. It is widely used to study apoptosis mechanisms, screen for modulators of cell death, and investigate diseases linked to dysregulated apoptosis, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions. Structurally, CASP9 contains an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD) critical for apoptosome interaction and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Dysregulation of CASP9 is implicated in tumor resistance to chemotherapy and defective developmental processes. Recombinant CASP9 also serves as a tool for developing therapeutic agents, including pro-apoptotic drugs for cancer or inhibitors for neuroprotection. Its study continues to advance understanding of cell fate decisions and therapeutic targeting of apoptosis-related pathologies.
