Dismantling Cell–Cell Contacts during Apoptosis Is Coupled to a Caspase-dependent Proteolytic Cleavage of β-Catenin
Cell death by apoptosis is a tightly regulated process that requires coordinated modification in cellular architecture. The caspase protease family has been shown to play a key role in apoptosis. Here we report that specific and ordered changes in the actin cytoskeleton take place during apoptosis.
