Autophagic or necrotic cell death in the absence of caspase and bcl-2 family members.

Abstract excerpt

How is one to investigate autophagic or necrotic cell death in the absence of interference from the apoptosis machinery? In the protist Dictyostelium, a model for the study of these two cell death types, we previously showed that autophagic cell death does not require paracaspase, the only caspase family member in this organism. In this report, we prepared two distinct paracaspase- atg1- double mutants, and we...
