Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2012 Apr; 109(19):7469-74. PMID: 22529389
Metacaspases are distantly related caspase-family cysteine peptidases implicated in programmed cell death in plants and lower eukaryotes. They differ significantly from caspases because they are calcium-activated, arginine-specific peptidases that do...
