rpr | Cell death protein rpr; Reaper (rpr) encodes Reaper, Hid, Grim (RHG) protein. It contributes to the caspase dependent apoptosis by inhibiting the anti-apoptotic protein encoded by Diap1. (65 aa) | ||||
Dronc | Caspase Nc subunit 1; Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Effector of steroid-mediated apoptosis during insect metamorphosis. Overexpression promotes programmed cell death. Interaction with Diap1 is required to suppress Dronc-mediated cell death; via Diap1-mediated ubiquitination of Dronc. Rate-limiting caspase in rpr and hid death pathway. (450 aa) | ||||
Drice | Caspase subunit p12; Death related ICE-like caspase (Drice) encodes a major effector apoptotic caspase. It is essential for both developmental and damaged induced cell death, as well as several non-apoptotic vital cellular processes. It is activated by the product of Dark and the initiator caspase encoded by Dronc and is inhibited by the inhibitor of apoptosis encoded by Diap1; Belongs to the peptidase C14A family. (339 aa) |
