Abstract excerpt
Inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins have a crucial role in apoptosis, through negative regulation of caspases in species from fruitflies to mammals. In Caenorhabditis elegans, however, no IAP homolog or caspase inhibitor has been identified, calling into question how the cell-killing caspase CE...
