Distinct lipid effects on tBid and Bim activation of membrane permeabilization by pro-apoptotic Bax.

Abstract

After exposure to stressful stimuli, apoptotic signals can be relayed to mitochondria by pro-apoptotic activator proteins, tBid (truncated Bid/p15) and Bim (Bcl-2 interacting mediator), which activate Bax (Bcl-2 associated X protein) and or Bak (Bcl-2 antagonist/killer) to induce mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization (MOMP). These protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions are critical for apoptosis regulation, since MOMP …
