Abstract excerpt
Expression of the reaper gene (rpr) correlates with the initiation of apoptosis in Drosophila melanogaster. Transient expression of rpr in the lepidopteran SF-21 cell line induced apoptosis displaying nuclear condensation and fragmentation, oligonucleosomal ladder formation, cell surface blebbing, and apoptotic body formation. Inhibitors of ICE-family proteases p35 and crmA, as well as members of the iap class of...
