Apaf-1 is an evolutionarily conserved DNA sensor that switches the cell fate between apoptosis and inflammation by Jie Ruan, Xuxia Wei, Suizhi Li, Zijian Ye, Linyi Hu, Ru Zhuang, Yange Cao, Shaozhou Wang, Shengpeng Wu, Dezhi Peng, Shangwu Chen, Shaochun Yuan, Anlong Xu

“…Abstract Apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) was traditionally defined as a scaffold protein in mammalian cells for assembling a caspase activation platform known as the ‘apoptosome’ after its binding to cytochrome c. Although Apaf-1 structurally resembles animal NOD-like receptor (NLR) and plant resistance (R) proteins, whether it is directly involved in innate immunity is still largely unknown. …”
