Abstract
⺠Novel chymotrypsin-like activity implicated in the maintenance of cell viability. ⺠Inhibition by TMR-PheP(OPh)2 caused a decrease in HeLa and U251 cell viability. ⺠Reduced viability was associated with an increase in caspase-3 activity over time. ⺠PARP cleavage and phosphatidylserine translocation were also observed. ⺠Inhibition of this protease initiates a cascade of apoptotic-related events.
