- Programmed cell death (apoptosis) is a prominent feature of the development of the immune and nervous systems. The identification of the Caenorhabditis elegans cell death gene, ced-3, as a prototype of the interleukin-1beta converting enzyme (ICE) protease family has led to extensive evidence implicating these enzymes in apoptosis. Among the ten or more members of the ICE protease family, CPP32/yama/apopain exhibits the highest similarity to CED-3 in both sequence homology and substrate specificity. To analyse its function in vivo, we generated CPP32-deficient mice by homologous recombination. These mice, born at a frequency lower than expected by mendelian genetics, were smaller than their littermates and died at 1-3 weeks of age. Although their thymocytes retained normal susceptibility to various apoptotic stimuli, brain development in CPP32-deficient mice was profoundly affected, and discernible by embryonic day 12, resulting in a variety of hyperplasias and disorganized cell deployment. These supernumerary cells were postmitotic and terminally differentiated by the postnatal stage. Pyknotic clusters at sites of major morphogenetic change during normal brain development were not observed in the mutant embryos, indicating decreased apoptosis in the absence of CPP32. Thus CPP32 is shown to play a critical role during morphogenetic cell death in the mammalian brain. Nature. 1996 Nov 28;384(6607):368-72.

- We have cloned a novel apoptotic gene from human Jurkat T-lymphocytes. The new gene encodes a 32-kDa putative cysteine protease (CPP32) with significant homology to Caenorhabditis elegans cell death protein Ced-3, mammalian interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE), and the product of the mouse nedd2 gene. The CPP32 transcript is highly expressed and most abundant in cell lines of lymphocytic origin. Overexpression of CPP32 or ICE in Sf9 insect cells resulted in apoptosis. In addition, coexpression of recombinant p20 and p11 derived from the parental full-length CPP32 sequence resulted in apoptosis in Sf9 cells. Our data suggest that similar to ICE, CPP32 is made of two subunits, p20 and p11, which form the active CPP32 complex. The apoptotic activity of CPP32 and its high expression in lymphocytes suggest that CPP32 is an important mediator of apoptosis in the immune system. J Biol Chem. 1994 Dec 9;269(49):30761-4.
