A model for the temporal regulation of salivary gland cell death by sequential pulses of ecdysone. Ecdysone (20E)–induced CBP expression at the mid-L3 transition directs down-regulation of DIAP1 in larval salivary glands to a critical threshold level, establishing competence for cell death. Later, ecdysone-induced rpr and hid expression at pupation (12 h APF) eliminates the remaining DIAP1, allowing caspase activation and salivary gland destruction.
