Western blot : Anti-APAF1 antibody [EPR21112-102] (ab234436) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab234436 was shown to bind specifically to APAF1. A band was observed at 140 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in APAF1 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and APAF1 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

CDC20 attenuates the sensitivity of HCT116 cells to gamma-rays. (A) CDC20 was stably reduced in HCT116 cells by lentiviral infection. The expression levels of CDC20 were determined by immunoblot analysis (sh-1/2/3 stands for three short hairpin RNA segments). (B) The expression levels of γH2AX and Rad51 were detected by Western blot in control and CDC20 knockdown cells at 24 h after 5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation. (C) The expression level of Rad51 was detected in control and CDC20 overexpression cells at 24 h after 5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation. (D) A clongenic assay of HCT116 cells with reduced CDC20 expression and control vector cells was carried out after irradiation with different doses of gamma-rays. (E) HCT116 cells with reduced CDC20 expression and control vector cells were exposed with the indicated doses of gamma-ray irradiation, and cell viability was measured 24 h later. (F,G) Higher expression level of apaf1, cleaved caspase-9, cleaved caspase-7, and cleaved caspase-3 (F) and more robust caspase-3/7 activation (G) were detected in CDC20 knockdown HCT116 cells compared with control vector cells 24 h after 5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation. (H) HCT116 cells were pretreated with different doses of apcin (0–10 μM) for 24 h before 5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation, and cell viability was detected 24 h after irradiation. (I) Cells were preincubated with apcin (25 or 50 μM) for 24 h before 5 Gy gamma-ray irradiation; then, the expression levels of cleaved caspase-7 and cleaved caspase-3 were determined by Western blot. Actin was used as an internal control. Data were pooled from three independent experiments and the results are represented as mean ± SD; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.

Supplementary information

APAF1 also known as apoptotic protease activating factor 1 plays a mechanical role in apoptosis by forming a complex with other proteins to trigger cell death. The APAF1 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. It is expressed in many tissues but occurs highly in the brain and heart. APAF1 interacts with cytochrome c and procaspase-9 to promote the activation of the initiator caspase cascade.
Biological function summary

APAF1 functions as a central component of the apoptosome a multi-protein complex important for programmed cell death. This process is essential for normal development and cellular homeostasis. In the apoptosome APAF1 recruits and activates procaspase-9 leading to the activation of caspase-3. This cascade assures that cells die in a controlled manner preventing damage to surrounding tissues.

Pathways

APAF1 serves an important function in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. It mediates cytochrome c release from mitochondria a step essential for apoptosis initiation. Another important pathway involving APAF1 is the apoptotic signaling pathway. Proteins such as Bcl-2 family members and p53 influence APAF1's role in these pathways by regulating cytochrome c release and apoptosome assembly.

APAF1 is notably associated with neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. Dysregulation of APAF1 can lead to undesirable apoptosis contributing to neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Conversely reduced APAF1 activity can result in tumor cell survival impacting cancer progression. Altered expression of APAF1 affects its interaction with proteins like Bcl-2 which can inhibit apoptosis and promote cancer cell growth.

Target data

Oligomeric Apaf-1 mediates the cytochrome c-dependent autocatalytic activation of pro-caspase-9 (Apaf-3), leading to the activation of caspase-3 and apoptosis. This activation requires ATP. Isoform 6 is less effective in inducing apoptosis.
