title: [Pathways of transduction of apoptotic signals in unicellular eukaryotes].
abstract: The review summarizes current data about transduction mechanism of apoptotic signals by caspase-like enzymes and mitochondrial apoptogenic proteins in unicellular eukaryotes. The role of receptor-dependent and receptor-independent caspase cascades is rewieved. The special attention is given to evolution aspects of problem of apoptosis.
