pubmed:abstractText |
The cytotoxic T lymphocyte protease granzyme A (GzmA) initiates a novel caspase-independent cell death pathway characterized by single-stranded DNA nicking. The previously identified GzmA substrate SET is in a multimeric 270-420-kDa endoplasmic reticulum-associated complex that also contains the tumor suppressor protein pp32. GzmA cleaved the nucleosome assembly protein SET after Lys(176) and disrupted its nucleosome assembly activity. The purified SET complex required only GzmA to reconstitute single-stranded DNA nicking in isolated nuclei. DNA nicking occurred independently of caspase activation. The SET complex contains a 25-kDa Mg(2+)-dependent nuclease that degrades calf thymus DNA and plasmid DNA. Thus, GzmA activates a DNase (GzmA-activated DNase) within the SET complex to produce a novel form of DNA damage during cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated death.
