Other parasporins have also been reported to promote this apoptotic pathway in the cells they act upon, such as the 29-kDa protein isolated from Bt in India, which induces caspases 3 and 9 cleavage in the uterine cancer cell line HeLa [3]; activation of these caspases by parasporin 4 (PS4Aa1/MPP45Ba1) was also found in the MOLT-4 cell line [26]. The gene discussed is CASP3; the disease is uterine cancer.
