Cloning and Characterization of the Caspase Family Member BmDronc from Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) Embryo Cells

2013-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Caspases are a family of cysteinyl aspartate proteinases known for their essential roles in the regulation of apoptosis. To date, ≈20 caspases have been identified, although few have been cloned and characterized in Bombyx mori (L.). Two caspase-9 variants from the B. mori embryo cell line (BmE), designated BmDroncL and BmDroncS, were cloned. BmDroncL has three classic domains: a caspase recruitment domain and lar...
