Abstract
The human dad-1 cDNA homolog was isolated from rice plants. The amino acid sequence of the predicted protein product is well conserved in bo th animals and plants. This rice dad-1 homolog can rescue the temperat ure-sensitive dad-1 mutants of hamster cells from apoptotic death, sug gesting that the rice dad-1 homolog also functions as a suppressor for programmed cell death.
