Identification of the protein-protein contact site and interaction mode of human VDAC1 with Bcl-2 family proteins
Abstract
Bcl-2 family of proteins plays differential roles in regulation of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, by either promoting or inhibiting the release of apoptogenic molecules from mitochondria to cytosol. Bcl-2 family proteins modulate the mitochondrial permeability through interaction with adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), ADP/ATP exchange, or oxidative phosphorylation during apoptosis. Although the mitochondrial homeostasis is affected by the relative ratio of pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, the molecular mechanism underlying the release of mitochondrial intermembrane proteins remains elusive. Here we reported the biochemical evidence that both pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-X(L) might simultaneously contact the putative loop regions of human VDAC1, and the existence of VDAC1-Bax-Bcl-X(L) tertiary complex in vitro suggested that VDAC1 channel conformation and mitochondrial permeability could be determined by the delicate balance between Bax and Bcl-X(L).

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.
