From the Although loss of the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP)
protein DIAP1 has been shown to result in caspase activation and
spontaneous cell death in Drosophila cells and embryos, the
point at which DIAP1 normally functions to inhibit caspase activation
is unknown. Depletion of the DIAP1 protein in Drosophila S2
cells or the Sf-IAP protein in Spodoptera frugiperda
Sf21 cells by RNA interference (RNAi) or cycloheximide treatment
resulted in rapid and widespread caspase-dependent
apoptosis. Co-silencing of dronc or dark
largely suppressed this apoptosis, indicating that DIAP1 is normally
required to inhibit an activity dependent on these proteins. Silencing of dronc also inhibited DRICE processing following
stimulation of apoptosis, demonstrating that DRONC functions as an
apical caspase in S2 cells. Silencing of diap1
or treatment with UV light induced DRONC processing, which occurred in
two steps. The first step appeared to occur continuously even in the
absence of an apoptotic signal and to be dependent on DARK, because
full-length DRONC accumulated when dark was silenced in
non-apoptotic cells. In addition, treatment with the proteasome
inhibitor MG132 resulted in accumulation of this initially processed
form of DRONC, but not full-length DRONC, in non-apoptotic cells. The
second step in DRONC processing was observed only in apoptotic cells.
These results indicate that the initial step in DRONC processing occurs continuously via a DARK-dependent mechanism in
Drosophila cells and that DIAP1 is required to prevent
excess accumulation of this first form of processed DRONC, presumably
through its ability to act as a ubiquitin-protein ligase.
The Drosophila DIAP1 Protein Is Required to
Prevent Accumulation of a Continuously Generated, Processed
Form of the Apical Caspase DRONC*
