DCP-1, a Drosophila cell death protease essential for development.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 24 Jan 1997

Song Z, McCall K, Steller H

Abstract excerpt

Apoptosis, a form of cellular suicide, involves the activation of CED-3-related cysteine proteases (caspases). The regulation of caspases by apoptotic signals and the precise mechanism by which they kill the cell remain unknown. In Drosophila, different death-inducing stimuli induce the expression of the apoptotic activator reaper. Cell killing by reaper and two genetically linked apoptotic activators, hid and...
