Question

Which statement about caspases is false?

A. They inhibit DNase which, when activated, fragments nuclear DNA.
B. They cleave after aspartic acid residues in their substrate proteins.
C. They predominantly break up Golgi membranes, which releases other caspases to cleave nuclear lamins and cytoskeleton proteins.
D. They contain cysteine residues in the active site.

Answer 1

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they do not break up the golgi membranes, they cleave nuclear lamins and cytoskeleton proteins. Caspases do not found in Golgi, they synthesized in zymogens. This is why the C is wrong and it is the answer.
