- The mammalian extrinsic apoptosis pathway is triggered by Fas ligand (FasL) and Apo2 ligand/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (Apo2L/TRAIL). Ligand binding to cognate receptors activates initiator caspases directly in a death-inducing signaling complex. In Drosophila, TNF ligand binding activates initiator caspases indirectly, through JNK. We characterized the extrinsic pathway in zebrafish to determine how it operates in a nonmammalian vertebrate. We identified homologs of FasL and Apo2L/TRAIL, their receptors, and other components of the cell death machinery. Studies with three Apo2L/TRAIL homologs demonstrated that they bind the receptors zHDR (previously linked to hematopoiesis) and ovarian TNFR (zOTR). Ectopic expression of these ligands during embryogenesis induced apoptosis in erythroblasts and notochord cells. Inhibition of zHDR, zOTR, the adaptor zFADD, or caspase-8-like proteases blocked ligand-induced apoptosis, as did antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members. Thus, the extrinsic apoptosis pathway in zebrafish closely resembles its mammalian counterpart and cooperates with the intrinsic pathway to trigger tissue-specific apoptosis during embryogenesis in response to ectopic Apo2L/TRAIL expression.

- We have cloned a novel apoptotic gene from human Jurkat T-lymphocytes. The new gene encodes a 32-kDa putative cysteine protease (CPP32) with significant homology to Caenorhabditis elegans cell death protein Ced-3, mammalian interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), and the product of the mouse nedd2 gene. The CPP32 transcript is highly expressed and most abundant in cell lines of lymphocytic origin. Overexpression of CPP32 or ICE in Sf9 insect cells resulted in apoptosis. In addition, coexpression of recombinant p20 and p11 derived from the parental full-length CPP32 sequence resulted in apoptosis in Sf9 cells. Our data suggest that similar to ICE, CPP32 is made of two subunits, p20 and p11, which form the active CPP32 complex. The apoptotic activity of CPP32 and its high expression in lymphocytes suggest that CPP32 is an important mediator of apoptosis in the immune system. J Biol Chem. 1994 Dec 9;269(49):30761-4.
