[cellular apoptosis susceptibility gene] The cDNA for this gene was identified by virtue of its ability to render MCF-7 breast cancer cells resistant to cell death by apoptosis caused by the ADP-ribosylating toxins Pseudomonas exotoxin, Pseudomonas exotoxin-derived immunotoxins, diphtheria toxin, and TNF-alpha and TNF-beta (Brinkmann et al, 1995, 1996).
Human CAS (971 amino acids) and yeast CSE1, a gene essential for chromosome segregation and necessary for B-type cyclin degradation in mitosis, are considered to be homologous (Brinkmann et al, 1995). Thus, the protein has been termed
