Reaction

strict requirement for an Asp residue at positions P1 and P4. It has a preferred cleavage sequence of Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp-/- with a hydrophobic amino-acid residue at P2 and a hydrophilic amino-acid residue at P3, although Val or Ala are also accepted at this position =

LITERATURE
SOURCE
-
bound to heavy membrane fraction, the N-termini of activated heavy-membrane-bound and cytoplasmic caspase-3 are slightly different: the heavy membrane caspase-3 begins at Lys14, whereas the cytoplasmic enzyme begins at Ser10

-
activated enzyme, the enzyme harbors one crm-1-independent nuclear export signal but no nuclear localization signal residing at the small subunit of caspase-3. The nuclear entry of active caspase-3 is not mediated by passive diffusion, but by its p3-recognition-based specific cleavage activity. The p3-mediated cleavage activity abrogates the function of the nuclear localization signal in caspase-3, which is essential for the active caspase-3 to enter into the nucleus
