摘要：

A paper in the February issue of Molecular Cell describes the structure of the apoptosome, a multicomponent death machine, deciphered by cryoelectron microscopy. This structure explains the assembly of the machine, the tentative location of the subcomponents, and proposes a mechanism for initiating the death signal.
