Once released into the cytosol, cytochrome c binds to a protein called Apaf-1 (apoptosis-activating factor-1, homologous to Ced-4 in C. elegans), which forms a wheel-like hexamer that has been called the apoptosome.

The role of innate immunity in the induction of autoimmunity

These anti-DNA differ in specificity from anti-DNA autoantibodies found in SLE sera, which bind the DNA backbone. In contras ...
