Abstract

Caspase-3 (CASP3) plays a key role in apoptosis. In this study, HAX-1 was identified as a new substrate of CASP3 during apoptosis. HAX-1 was cleaved by CASP3 during etoposide-(ETO) induced apoptosis, and this event was inhibited by a CASP3-specific inhibitor. The cleavage site of HAX-1, at $Asp^{127}$, was located using N-terminal amino acid sequencing of in vitro cleavage products of recombinant HAX-1. Overexpression of HAX-1 inhibited ETO-induced apoptotic cell death. It also inhibited CASP3 activity. Together, these results suggest that HAX-1, a substrate of CASP3, inhibits the apoptotic process by inhibiting CASP3 activity.
