Apoptotski faktor aktiviranja proteaze 1 , također poznat kao APAF1 , je ljudski homolog CED-4 gena C. elegans . To jest protein koji je kod ljudi kodiran genom APAF1 sa hromosoma 12 .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Protein je identifikovan u laboratoriji Xiaodonga Wanga kao aktivator kaspaze-3 u prisustvu citohroma C i dATP.<.[ 8] Ovaj gen kodira citoplazmatski protein koji čini jedno od centralnih čvorišta u regulatornoj mreži apoptoza . Ovaj protein sadrži (sa N terminala ) domen za regrutaciju kaspaznog (CARD ), ATPazni domen (NB-ARC), nekoliko kratkih spiralnih domena i zatim nekoliko kopija domena zvanog WD40 ponavljanje . Nakon vezivanja citohroma c i dATP , ovaj protein formira oligomerni apoptosom . Apoptosom veže i cijepa prokaspazni-9 protein, oslobađajući njegov zreli, aktivirani oblik. O preciznom mehanizmu za ovu reakciju se još uvijek raspravlja iako rad koji je objavio Guy Salvesen sugerira da apoptosom može inducirati dimerizaciju kaspaza-9 i naknadnu autokatalizu .[ 9] Aktivirana kaspaza-9 stimulira kaspaznu kaskadu koja dopušta ćeliju apoptozi.
Alternativna prerada rezultira u nekoliko varijanti transkripta koje kodiraju različite izoforme .[ 5]
Dužina polipeptidnog lanca je 1.248 aminokiselina , a molekulska težina 141.840 Da .[ 5]
APAF1 sadrži CARD domen sa motivom sa motivom grčkog ključa koji se sastoji od šest spirala, domena Rossmanovog nabora za vezivanje nukleotida , kratkog spiralnog motiva i domene krilate spirale.[ 10]
