Hara-Nishimura A plant vacuolar protease, VPE, mediates virus-induced hypersensitive cell death Science 305 2004 855 858 Virus-induced gene silencing demonstrates that VPE is a protease essential for vacuole-mediated cell death during virus-induced HR and that VPE has caspase-1 activity, although VPE is structurally unrelated to caspases. A biotinylated-inhibitor blot was developed to detect caspase homologs in plants.
