PROGRAMMED cell death (apoptosis) is a prominent feature of the development of the immune and nervous systems1,2. The identification of the Caenorhabditis elegans cell death gene, ced-3, as a prototype of the interleukin-lβ converting enzyme (ICE) protease family has led to extensive evidence implicating these enzymes in apoptosis3,4. Among the ten or more members of the ICE protease family, CPP32/yama/apopain5–7 exhibits the highest similarity to CED-3 in both sequence homology and substrate… CONTINUE READING
