📣 #OurLastPaper is out in @molbioevol.bsky.social! This study traces the evolutionary history of apoptosis-inhibiting proteins (IAPs), essential proteins in metazoans that are involved in a wide range of biological functions far beyond the regulation of cell death.
IAP proteins play central roles in regulating apoptosis - Lopes, @nicolasparisot.bsky.social et al. show that IAP expansion in animals has repeatedly emerged through lineage-specific duplication events
