uniprot summary :
PDCD8: Probable oxidoreductase that has a dual role in controlling cellular life and death; during apoptosis, it is translocated from the mitochondria to the nucleus to function as a proapoptotic factor in a caspase-independent pathway, while in normal mitochondria, it functions as an antiapoptotic factor via its oxidoreductase activity. The soluble form (AIFsol) found in the nucleus induces parthanatos i.e., caspase-independent fragmentation of chromosomal DNA. Interacts with EIF3G,and thereby inhibits the EIF3 machinery and protein synthesis, and activates casapse-7 to amplify apoptosis. Plays a critical role in caspase- independent, pyknotic cell death in hydrogen peroxide-exposed cells. Binds to DNA in a sequence-independent manner. Interacts with XIAP/BIRC4. Interacts (via N-terminus) with EIF3G (via C-terminus). Belongs to the FAD-dependent oxidoreductase family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Mitochondrial; EC 1.-.-.-; Oxidoreductase; Apoptosis. Cellular Component: mitochondrion; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; mitochondrial inner membrane; cytoplasm; mitochondrial intermembrane space; nucleus; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein dimerization activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on NADH or NADPH; DNA binding; NAD(P)H oxidase activity. Biological Process: neuron differentiation; caspase activation; mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly; neuron apoptosis; cell redox homeostasis; apoptosis
