Abstract
Proteins containing the BIR motif have been implicated as regulators of apoptosis and cell division. Apollon, an exceptionally large BIR-containing protein, inhibits apoptosis by targeting key cell death proteins for destruction by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Now, deletion of apollon in the mouse has revealed a crucial function in cell division.
