1 Caspase 3-mediated cleavage of the vacuolar proton-pumping ATPase subunit ATP6V1B2 Usnish Majumdar Mentored by Prof. James Mandell, M.D., Ph.D. UVa Medical Center, Department of Pathology Supported by the U.Va. Summer Scholars Award *Artist s conception of a cell undergoing apoptosis. Cognition & David Ehlert.

2 Outline Caspases The brain A novel cleavage Future directions Crystal Structure: Caspase-3 with substrate Image from Protein Data Bank

3 What are caspases? Why study them?? Act as specific cellular scissors What s unknown?? Signal from Cell? Caspase-3 Activated Initiator Caspase Other Proteins???

5 Caspase cleavages in synapses Ethanol or saline treatment Purified mouse synapses ( synaptosomes ) Protein sequencing to discover substrate cleavages Saline Ethanol ~90 potential cleavages Of interest, ATP6V1B2 Sequencing Data Collaborator: Ken Victor, Pathology

6 B2 subunit of H + -V-ATPase Hypothesis: Cleavage of the ATP6V1B2 subunit of the vacuolar ATPase is mediated by caspase-3, and prevents loading and toxic release of transmitter from degenerating synapses Hilger and Jahn, 2011
