IAP antagonist Grim mediates cell death through divergent pathways
… we demonstrate that a Drosophila IAP antagonist, Grim, induces cell death through divergent mechanisms: an IBM-dependent pathway, requiring a crosstalk with Drosophila IAP1 (DIAP1), and an IBM-independent manner, involving Grim’s C-terminus for translational repression. We discovered that Grim is …
