Type 1 metacaspases have a pro-domain region and contain an N-terminal zinc finger motif. Type 2 metacaspases are without a pro-domain and contain an insert of approximately 180 amino acids between the p20 and p10 subdomains (Uren et al, 2000). Type 3 metacaspases identified in phytoplanktonic protists are distinct from the other two types and are characterized by a rearrangement of domain structures between N-terminus and C-terminus.
