From the Caspase-activated DNase (CAD) is the enzyme that
causes DNA fragmentation during apoptosis. CAD forms aggregates when it
is synthesized in the absence of an inhibitor of CAD (ICAD). Here, using renaturation systems of chemically denatured CAD, we report that
ICAD-L, a long form of ICAD, has a chaperone-like activity specific for
CAD. Murine CAD carries 14 cysteines, most of which were found to be in
reduced form. Reducing agents enhanced the production of the functional
CAD in an in vitro translation system. The denatured
CAD could be efficiently renatured under highly reducing
conditions only in the presence of ICAD-L. This process was
ATP-independent. In contrast, reticulocyte lysates stimulated ICAD-L- and ATP-dependent renaturation of denatured CAD
without requiring a high concentration of reducing agents. These
results indicate that ICAD-L works not only as a specific inhibitor but also as a specific chaperone for CAD.
