Integrating stress signals at the endoplasmic reticulum: The BCL-2 protein family rheostat

Abstract

The assembling of distinct signaling protein complexes at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane controls several stress responses related to calcium homeostasis, autophagy, ER morphogenesis and protein folding. Diverse pathological conditions interfere with the function of the ER altering protein folding, a condition known as "ER stress". Adaptation to ER stress depends on the activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and protein degradation pathways such as autophagy. Under chronic or irreversible ER stress, cells undergo apoptosis, where the BCL-2 protein family plays a crucial role at the mitochondria to trigger cytochrome c release and apoptosome assembly. Several BCL2 family members also regulate physiological processes at the ER through dynamic interactomes. Here we provide a comprehensive view of the roles of the BCL-2 family of proteins in mediating the molecular crosstalk between the ER and mitochondria to initiate apoptosis, in addition to their emerging functions in adaptation to stress, including autophagy, UPR, calcium homeostasis and organelle morphogenesis. We envision a model where BCL-2-containing complexes may operate as stress rheostats that, beyond their known apoptosis functions at the mitochondria, determine the amplitude and kinetics of adaptive responses against ER-related injuries. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Mitochondria: the deadly organelle.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
