    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Drosophila ICE (drICE) Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total drICE protein, including both full-length and cleaved protein products.

    Species Reactivity:

    D. melanogaster

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp230 of Drosophila ICE (drICE) protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Cell death in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is regulated by many of the same stimuli as mammalian cell death (1). The Drosophila genome contains seven caspase genes; three encode initiator caspases and four encode effector caspases (reviewed in 2). drICE is a cysteine protease that cleaves baculovirus p35 and lamin DmO in vitro and acts downstream of rpr (3). drICE is proteolytically processed during apoptosis into active p21 and p12 subunits. Comparison of the in vivo activity between drICE and Dcp-1 has shown that drICE is a more effective inducer of apoptosis than Dcp-1, which plays a role in determining the rate of cell death (4).
