Identification of a novel gene family, paralogs of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins present in plants, fungi, and animals

Only few orthologs of animal apoptosis regulators have been found in plants. Recently, the ectopic expression of mammalian inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) has been shown to affect plant programmed cell death. Here, we identified two novel proteins homologous to Arabidopsis thaliana IAP-like p...
