Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene Ice is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Ice (CG7788, FBgn0019972). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: salivary gland histolysis; spermatid differentiation; programmed cell death; sterol regulatory element binding protein cleavage; neuron remodeling; positive regulation of compound eye retinal cell programmed cell death; response to X-ray; developmental programmed cell death. 29 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; organ system subdivision; adult; multicellular structure; external compound sense organ; adult segment; region of integument; cell part; imaginal precursor; multi-tissue structure; anatomical structure; cell projection. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Peptidase C14, ICE, catalytic subunit p20; Peptidase C14, ICE, catalytic subunit p20, active site; Peptidase C14, caspase catalytic; Peptidase C14, caspase non-catalytic subunit p10; Peptidase C14, caspase precursor p45; Peptidase C14, caspase precursor p45, core. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, during early pupal stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult organs/tissues expressed at moderate or high levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval central nervous system, larval midgut, larval hindgut, larval Malpighian tubules, larval fat body, adult ovary, larval carcass. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, adult brain, adult crop, adult midgut, adult hindgut, adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult spermathecae, adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1634668_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of Ice. Gene sequence location is 3R:25625375..25627307.

Additional Descriptive Data
The expression of this gene along with several others is induced in salivary glands in pupae at the time of head eversion. This stage is characterized by an increase in the ecdysone titer as well as large amounts of cell death in this tissue.
Ice transcript is expressed in all developmental stages, with highest levels detected in 2-6 hr embryos.

Comment:10-14 hr APF; activated form
Additional Descriptive Data
Ice protein detected by an antibody specific to the activated form is observed in the cytoplasm of salivary glands beginning at 10 hours APF. Levels increase with time, and activated Ice protein is abundant at 14 hours APF.
An antibody thatspecifically recognizes the activated form of Ice was used to examine expression of this protein during apoptosis that occurs in nurse cells during oogenesis. Foci of activated Ice staining was first observed near nuclei of the nurse cells closest to the oocyte. Later, at stage 12, increased expression of Ice was observed in all nurse cells.
Active Ice protein is observed to accumulate in the cytoplasm of preindividualized part of the spermatid cyst, and in the cystic bulge, but is not detectable in the postindividualized part of the spermatid cyst. Inactive Ice protein is observed uniformly in preindividualizing spermatid cysts.

th blocks effector caspases by targeting them for polyubiquitylation and nonproteasomal inactivation.
Gene expression is increased in response to the presence of two copies of Scer\GAL4hs.PB.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
A CED-4-like P-loop-containing ATPase is involved in the activation of Ice to promote the cell death program in Drosophila.
Overexpression of Ice sensitizes cells to apoptotic stimuli and expression of an N-terminally truncated form rapidly induces apoptosis. Ice is a Cys protease that cleaves baculovirus p35 and Lam in vitro and Ice is expressed at all stages of development at which programmed cell death can be induced. These results strongly suggest that Ice is an apoptotic caspase that acts downstream of rpr.
Ice encodes an essential caspase required for apoptotic activity in Drosophila cells.
