| Abstract | The extrinsic, or death receptor, pathway integrates apoptotic signals through the protease caspase-8 (casp8). Beyond cell death regulation, non-apoptotic functions of casp8 include its essential requirement for hematopoiesis and lymphocyte clonal expansion, and tempering of autophagy in T cells. However, the mechanistic basis for the control of these disparate cellular processes remains elusive. Here, we show that casp8-deficient T-cell survival was rescued by enzymatically active, but not inactive, casp8-expressing retroviruses. The casp8 catalytic induction in proliferating T cell occurred independent of extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic-signaling cascades and did not induce casp8 proteolytic processing. Using a biotinylated probe selectively targeting enzymatically active caspases, catalytically active full-length casp8 was found in vivo in dividing T cells. A casp8 D387A processing mutant was able to rescue casp8-deficient T-cell proliferation, validating that casp8 self-processing is not required for its non-apoptotic function(s). Finally, casp8 activity was highest in CD8+ T cells, the most rapidly proliferating subset. These results show that the catalytically competent form of casp8 is required for rapid T-cell proliferation in response to TCR ligation, but that processing of the caspase is only necessary to promote apoptosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
