Chen,‡ Ulrich Maurer,*,x,{ and Christoph Borner*,x,{ Semliki Forest virus (SFV) requires RNA replication and Bax/Bak for efficient apoptosis induction. However, cells lacking Bax/Bak continue to die in a caspase-dependent manner. In this study, we show in both mouse and human cells that this Bax/Bak-independent pathway involves dsRNA-induced innate immune signaling via mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) and caspase-8. Bax/Bak- deficient or Bcl-2– or Bcl-xL–overexpressing cells lacking MAVS or caspase-8 expression are resistant to SFV-induced apoptosis. The signaling pathway triggered by SFV does neither involve death receptors nor the classical MAVS effectors TNFR-associated factor-2, IRF-3/7, or IFN-b but the physical interaction of MAVS with caspase-8 on mitochondria in a FADD-independent manner. Downloaded from Consistently, caspase-8 and -3 activation are reduced in MAVS-deficient cells. Thus, after RNA virus infection MAVS does not only elicit a type I antiviral response but also recruits caspase-8 to mitochondria to mediate caspase-3 activation and apoptosis in a Bax/Bak-independent manner.

The architecture of mitoribosomes is mainly composed of mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (MRPs), which are encoded by nuclear genomic DNA. Emerging experimental evidences reveal that several MRPs are multifunctional and they exhibit important extra-mitochondrial functions, such as involvement in apoptosis, protein biosynthesis and signal transduction. Dysregulations of the MRPs are associated with severe pathological conditions, including cancer.

We have shown that DAP3 is critical for anoikis induction. However, the mechanism for anoikis induction mediated by DAP3 is still unclear. Here, we show that interferon-b promoter stimulator 1 (IPS-1) binds DAP3 and induces anoikis by caspase activation. Recently, IPS-1 has been shown to be critical for antiviral immune responses, although there has been no report of its function in apoptosis induction. We show that overexpression of IPS-1 induces apoptosis by activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9. In addition, IPS-1 knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts were shown to be resistant to anoikis. Interestingly, IPS-1 expression, recruitment of caspase-8 to IPS-1, and caspase-8 activation were induced after cell detachment. Furthermore, DAP3-mediated anoikis induction was inhibited by knockdown of IPS-1 expression. Therefore, we elucidated a novel function of IPS-1 for anoikis induction by caspase-8 activation.

They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA.

Background This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein that also participates in apoptotic pathways which are initiated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha, Fas ligand, and gamma interferon. This protein potentially binds ATP/GTP and might be a functional partner of the mitoribosomal protein S27.
