Journal ArticleDOI
Filling a GAP(DH) in caspase-independent cell death.
TL;DR: The glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is identified as a potent inhibitor of caspase-independent cell death that may allow metabolically active cells to survive mitochondrial insult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional reaper: sixty-five amino acids of fury.
TL;DR: It is not yet clear whether sequence relatedness is at all indicative of functional similarities between fly and vertebrate Bcl2 family members, but there is evidence that caspase activation during spermatid differentiation is dependent on cy tochrome c, but it is not known if this reflects an ability of cytochrome c to bind and promote Dark activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The deubiquitinating enzyme DUBAI stabilizes DIAP1 to suppress Drosophila apoptosis
Chih-Sheng Yang,Sergey A. Sinenko,Michael J. Thomenius,Alexander C. Robeson,Christopher D. Freel,Sarah R. Horn,Sally Kornbluth +6 more
TL;DR: DUBAI represents a novel locus of apoptotic regulation in Drosophila, antagonizing cell death signals that would otherwise result in DIAP1 degradation, and is named DeUBiquitinating-Apoptotic-Inhibitor (D UBAI), as a novel DUB capable of preserving DIAP 1 to dampen Drosophile apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stalling in mitosis and releasing the apoptotic brake
Manabu Kurokawa,Sally Kornbluth +1 more
TL;DR: In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Clarke and colleagues show that Mcl-1, an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, is phosphorylated by the mitotic kinase CDK1/cyclin B1, and has an important function in such mitotic cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
A grafted ovarian fragment rescues host fertility after chemotherapy
Iordan S Batchvarov,Rachel A. Williamson Taylor,Ximena M. Bustamante-Marin,Ximena M. Bustamante-Marin,Michael Czerwinski,Erika Segear Johnson,Sally Kornbluth,Blanche Capel +7 more
TL;DR: Grafted a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-positive fragment from a healthy isogenic ovary to the left ovary of a chemo-treated host rescued function and fertility of the grafted host ovary, and resulted in the production of host-derived offspring as late as the sixth litter after chemotherapy (CTx) treatment, whereas none of the ungrafted controls produced a second litter.
