| Research Abstract |
We identified that caspase-3 generates two 35-kDa and 25-kDa fragments under the apoptotic condition. However, novel caspase-3-independent isoforms of these two variants were also detected under normal conditions. The 35-kDa fragment expression led to the formation of stress granules, while aggresomes were formed in the cytoplasm of cells expressing 35-kDa fragment in the presence of proteasome inhibitors.
