Abstract excerpt
DNA fragmentation/degradation is an important step for apoptosis. However, in unicellular organisms such as yeast, this process has rarely been investigated. In the current study, we revealed eight apoptotic nuclease candidates in Saccharyomyces cerevisiae, analogous to the Caenorhabditis elegans apoptotic nucleases. One of them is Tat-D. Sequence comparison indicates that Tat-D is conserved across kingdoms,...
