Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria by apoptotic signals induces ATP/dATP-dependent formation of the oligomeric Apaf-1-caspase-9 apoptosome. Here we show that the documented anti-apoptotic effect of the principal heat-shock protein, Hsp70, is mediated through its direct association with the caspase-recruitment domain (CARD) of Apaf-1 and through inhibition of apoptosome formation. The interaction between Hsp70 and Apaf-1 prevents oligomerization of Apaf-1 and association of Apaf-1 with procaspase-9, On the basis of these results, we propose that resistance to apoptosis exhibited by stressed cells and some tumours, which constitutively express high levels of Hsp70, may be due in part to modulation of Apaf-1 function by Hsp70.
