APAF1 (Apoptotic Protease-Activating Factor 1) is a critical mediator of intrinsic apoptosis, a programmed cell death pathway essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and eliminating damaged or stressed cells. It functions as a central component of the apoptosome, a multi-protein complex that activates caspase cascades to execute apoptosis. APAF1 was first identified in the late 1990s through its homology to the *Caenorhabditis elegans* CED-4 protein, which regulates developmental cell death. Structurally, APAF1 contains three domains: an N-terminal caspase recruitment domain (CARD), a central nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NB-ARC), and a C-terminal regulatory region with WD40 repeats.
Under normal conditions, APAF1 exists in an autoinhibited conformation. Upon apoptotic stimuli, such as DNA damage or oxidative stress, mitochondrial cytochrome *c* is released into the cytosol and binds to APAF1’s WD40 domains. This interaction, along with ATP/dATP hydrolysis, triggers APAF1 oligomerization into the heptameric apoptosome. The assembled apoptosome recruits and activates procaspase-9 through CARD-CARD interactions, initiating a cascade of effector caspases (e.g., caspase-3/-7) that dismantle cellular components.
Dysregulation of APAF1 is implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration, and autoimmune diseases. Loss-of-function mutations or epigenetic silencing of APAF1 can impair apoptosis, promoting tumor survival and chemoresistance. Conversely, excessive apoptosome activity may contribute to neuronal death in Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. Recombinant APAF1 proteins, typically produced in *E. coli* or mammalian expression systems, are widely used to study apoptosome assembly, caspase activation mechanisms, and drug screening for therapies targeting apoptosis pathways. These purified proteins enable structural analysis (e.g., cryo-EM) and biochemical assays to dissect molecular interactions critical for life-death decisions in cells.
