Bax and Bak Coalesce into Novel Mitochondria-Associated Clusters during Apoptosis
Open accessAbstract
Bax is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins known to regulate mitochondria-dependent programmed cell death. Early in apoptosis, Bax translocates from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membrane. We have identified by confocal and electron microscopy a novel step in the Bax proapoptotic mechanism immediately subsequent to mitochondrial translocation. Bax leaves the mitochondrial membranes and coalesces into large clusters containing thousands of Bax molecules that remain adjacent to mitochondria. Bak, a close homologue of Bax, colocalizes in these apoptotic clusters in contrast to other family members, Bid and Bad, which circumscribe the outer mitochondrial membrane throughout cell death progression. We found the formation of Bax and Bak apoptotic clusters to be caspase independent and inhibited completely and specifically by Bcl-XL, correlating cluster formation with cytotoxic activity. Our results reveal the importance of a novel structure formed by certain Bcl-2 family members during the process of cell death.

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.
