Abstract excerpt
The activation of caspases is a critical event for the execution phase of programmed cell death. Caspases are highly specific in their ability to activate or inhibit many crucial proteins in the cell via cleavage. In this study, we report the identification of several caspase-3-like cleavage sites in the cell-cycle checkpoint protein Rad9. We demonstrate that human Rad9 can be specifically cleaved in cells...
