The proteolytic degradation of proteins in the cytosol that contributes to apoptosis. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the disassembly of the nucleus and contributes to apoptosis. A cellular process that results in the breakdown of a part of the cell. A form of programmed cell death that begins when a cell receives internal or external signals that trigger the activity of proteolytic caspases, proceeds through a series of characteristic stages typically including rounding-up of the cell, retraction of pseudopodes, reduction of cellular volume (pyknosis), chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation (karyorrhexis), and plasma membrane blebbing (but maintenance of its integrity until the final stages of the process), and ends with the death of the cell. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. The proteolytic degradation of cytoskeletal proteins that contributes to apoptosis, leading to the collapse of cytoskeletal structures. The breakdown of structures such as organelles, proteins, or other macromolecular structures during apoptosis. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cellular component.
