	rpr -
		Dredd, a novel effector of the apoptosis activators reaper, grim, and hid in Drosophila.
		Reaper- or Grim- induced apoptosis was inhibited by a broad range of caspase inhibitors and by human inhibitor of apoptosis proteins cIAP1 and cIAP2.
		We show here that ecdysone-induced expression of the death activator genes reaper (rpr) and head involution defective (hid) is required for destruction of the larval midgut and salivary glands during metamorphosis, with hid playing a primary role in the salivary glands and rpr and hid acting in a redundant manner in the midguts.

	Researchers solve killer protein's 'crime'
		This is the job of the Reaper family of proteins, which includes Reaper, Hid and Grim, and which Steller discovered in 1994.
		In the past, scientists could not easily study the effects of Reaper in developing fly embryos because overproduction of this protein leads to their death.
		Because Reaper itself is a very small protein, they think that it will be possible to design small therapeutic derivatives of it that could readily pass into tumor cells.

	Scythe: a novel reaper-binding apoptotic regulator
		These findings established reaper as a key regulator of apoptosis in flies, and genetic data places reaper upstream of caspase activation, although the molecular intermediates between reaper and caspase activation have not been elucidated.
		Since reaper is a small protein without obvious catalytic activity, we hypothesized that it might act through direct interaction with downstream apoptotic effectors.
		By analogy to reaper, such a Scythe-activating factor might be transcriptionally induced in response to external stimuli or in response to developmental cues.

		At that time, grain was harvested by the same manual process that had been used since the dawn of agriculture: the reapers mowed down the standing grain with a hand-swung scythe, and the binders followed behind them, tying the crop into bales, which were then carted away, usually for storage in barns.
		He also utilized novel business practices, including lenient credit for purchases, written performance guarantees ("15 acres a day"), readily available replacement parts, and advertising that educated farming communities about the benefits of technology.
		Beginning in 1841, the mechanical reaper finally caught on: so much so that McCormick was later forced to move production out of his family farm's flsmith shop and into a factory in Chicago (1847).

		Moreover, a truncated variant of Scythe lacking the N-terminal domain induced apoptosis even in the absence of reaper.
		These data suggest that Scythe is a novel apoptotic regulator that is an essential component in the pathway of reaper-induced apoptosis.

		The very concept of the novel is bizarre; that Death could get fed up of his job and go off to do something different, like everyone else.
		Inevitably, the consequences of having the position of Death in the 'Situations Vacant' column, are amusing to say the least; but one 130-year old wizard (supposed to be dead) really does have the time of his life.
		The characterisation of Death was excellent, and the other characters in the novel are used in an intricate way to aid his development.

	Scythe: a novel reaper-binding apoptotic regulator
		Recombinant GST−reaper protein on glutathione−Sepharose beads ('RPR beads') was incubated with Xenopus egg extract for 1 h at 4°C. The beads were pelleted, washed twice with egg lysis buffer (ELB), twice with NaBicarb buffer, resuspended in NaBicarb and incubated with a succinimide ester of biotin for 1 h at room temperature.
		Eleven tryptic and Lys-C peptides that were found in the two different Scythe isoforms (148 and 150 kDa) are indicated as follows: single underlining = 150 kDa; double underlining = 148 kDa; dotted underlining = 148 + 150 kDa.
		S-labeled proteins were bound to reaper, the intensity of the signal would be equivalent to that seen in the control 'Load' lanes.

	Twenty Questions with Ben Mezrich (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This first novel was followed up by "Reaper," a joyride of a "techno-thriller" in which the world is threatened by "The Big Turn-On" – an event in which nearly every resident in America will gain access to the Information Superhighway.
		Unfortunately, several parties are using The Big Turn On for their own villainous ends, and it's up to a surgeon-turned-paramedic and a beautiful government scientist to pin down the cause of a rash of mysterious deaths, stop the bad guys, and save the world.
		Between "Reaper" and "Skin," Mezrich has also found time to write "Skeptic" under the pen name Holden Scott – a feverish yarn about a murdered man's ghost, the victim's unwilling-to-believe best friend, and – oh, yeah – a complex international intrigue.

	Review of The Reaper by Peter Lovesey
		As in any good caper novel, the foxes are more interesting and more sympathetic than the hounds baying after them.
		Although THE REAPER well written and intriguing, several plot flaws jar the reader away from a complete suspension of disbelief.
		Although the novel could not move forward without these killings, the motivation appeared to flow from the plot as much as from the character requirements.
