Abstract

Cytochrome C is a mitochondrial protein that induces apoptosis when released into the cytosol or when added to cell-free extracts. Here we show that cells that overexpress the Bcl-2-related protein Bcl-x L fail to accumulate cytosolic cytochrome C or undergo apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress. Coimmunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that Bcl-x L associates with cytochrome C. Cytochrome C binds directly and specifically to Bcl-x L and not to the proapoptotic Bcl-x s protein. The results also demonstrate that Bcl-x s blocks binding of cytochrome C to Bcl-x L. Our findings support a role for Bcl-x L in protecting cells from apoptosis by inhibiting the availability of cytochrome C in the cytosol.

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.
