Nature. 377:1995;248-251 The baculovirus protein p35 blocks four ICE-like proteases and inhibits death in C. elegans. CrmA has death-blocking activity in the same organism only when the CED-3 cleavage site of p35 is introduced into the protein. It is suggested that p35 blocks cell death by acting as a competitive inhibitor of ICE-like proteases.

Peptide inhibitors of the ICE protease family arrest programmed cell death of motoneurons in vivo and in vitro. Neuron. 15:1995;385-393 The peptide YVAD is shown to rescue chick embryonic motoneurons in vitro following trophic factor deprivation, and during NOCD in vivo. However, the peptide is not capable of rescuing motoneurons following limb-bud removal. These results suggest that ICE, or a protease with a related specificity, plays a major role in certain types of neuronal death.

FLICE/MACH, a novel member of the ICE-protease family, possesses two tandem regions of homology with the death domain of FADD/MORT1, which enables its recruitment and activation by the ligand-activated CD95/FAS/Apo-1 and TNF receptors.
