Bicaudal is a conserved substrate for Drosophila and mammalian caspases and is essential for cell survival.

Members of the caspase family of cysteine proteases coordinate cell death through restricted proteolysis of diverse protein substrates and play a conserved role in apoptosis from nematodes to man. However, while numerous substrates for the mammalian cell death-associated caspases have now been descr...
