Model of differential caspase-2 activation platform assembly in the cytosol and nucleolus. DNA damage leads to the assembly of 2 distinct caspase-2 activation platforms (represented by yellow circles): one in the cytosol and one in the nucleolus. The nucleolar complex comprises NPM1 (nucleophosmin), PIDD (p53-inducible protein with a death domain) and RAIDD (RIP-associated Ich-1/CED homologous protein with death domain) while the cytoplasmic complex only requires RAIDD. Other stimuli (e.g. cytoskeletal damage) only engage the cytosolic platform.
