Activated CED-3 forms a holoenzyme with the CED-4 apoptosome to cleave a wide range of substrates, leading to irreversible cell death. Despite decades of investigations, the underlying mechanism of CED-4-facilitated CED-3 activation remains elusive. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of the CED-4 apoptosome and three distinct CED-4/CED-3 complexes that mimic different activation stages for CED-3. In addition to the previously reported octamer in crystal structures, CED-4, alone or in complex with CED-3, exists in multiple oligomeric states. Supported by biochemical analyses, we show that the conserved CARD-CARD interaction promotes CED-3 activation, and initiation of programmed cell death is regulated by the dynamic organization of the CED-4 apoptosome. |
