Abstract

Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-linked mutations in copper-zinc superoxide dismutase cause motor neuron death through one or more acquired toxic properties. An early event in the mechanism of toxicity from such mutants is now demonstrated to be activation of caspase-1. Neuronal death, however, follows only after months of chronic caspase-1 activation concomitantly with activation of the executioner caspase-3 as the final step in the toxic cascade. Thus, a common toxicity of mutant SOD1 is a sequential activation of at least two caspases, caspase-1 that acts slowly as a chronic initiator and caspase-3 acting as the final effector of cell death.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
