Nat Cell Biol. 4:2002;439-444 This is one of a series of papers in the same issue that examine the regulation of IAP protein function. These authors also provide a first glimpse at the ability of Drosophila Reaper to inhibit cellular translation. While these in vitro and cell culture studies are generally regarded with caution, the recent finding that viral Reaper-like proteins of bunyaviruses are required for the ability of this virus to inhibit host cell translation suggest that this function of Reaper proteins may be conserved.

Development. 129:2002;1467-1476 Reaper, Hid and Grim are required for early embryonic cell death during Drosophila development and Reaper is expressed in the cells that are destined to die. Therefore, it was surprising to learn from this study that early development death is normal in Reaper-deficient flies. The Reaper phenotype is revealed later as excess numbers of neuronal cells.
