Biological function summary
These proteins contribute to essential processes within the cell and immune system. Interferon beta plays a significant role in innate and adaptive immune responses by stimulating the antiviral state and regulating the activity of immune cells. It is not part of a complex. Caspase-3 acts as an executioner caspase cleaving cellular components to trigger apoptosis. Caspase-8 initiates the extrinsic apoptosis pathway by activating downstream caspases like Caspase-3 often forming part of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) upon activation by death receptors.
Pathways
Their biological roles fit into important signal cascades. Interferon beta operates within the JAK-STAT pathway modulating gene expression in response to pathogen invasion. Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 integrate into the apoptosis pathway. Caspase-8 connects the extrinsic pathway triggered by receptors like Fas (CD95) while Caspase-3 forms a node for executing apoptosis once activated either extrinsically or by the intrinsic pathway involving proteins like cytochrome c.
