Another piece of the puzzle of apoptotic cytochrome c release.
Involvement of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) in apoptosis and PTP structure are highly controversial. In this issue of Molecular Microbiology, experiments based on yeast genetics analyse the roles of the three proteins commonly considered to form the PTP, i.e. porin, ADP/ATP carrier (ACC) and mitochondrial cyclophilin, on apoptosis-like cell death. Whereas knocking out cy...
متن کاملApoptosis and cytochrome c release in cerebellar granule cells.
In the light of both the major role played by released cytochrome c in apoptosis of a variety of cells and the availability of cerebellar granule cells as a model system to investigate apoptosis as a function of time from induction to cell death, we review data aimed at elucidating the events dealing with cytochrome c release from mitochondria as well as its role outside mitochondria. We report...
متن کاملBeta-amyloid oligomers activate apoptotic BAK pore for cytochrome c release.
In Alzheimer's disease, cytochrome c-dependent apoptosis is a crucial pathway in neuronal cell death. Although beta-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers are known to be the neurotoxins responsible for neuronal cell death, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. Here, we report that the oligomeric form of synthetic Aβ of 42 amino acids elicits death of HT-22 cells. But, when expression of a bcl-2 fa...
متن کاملGAPDH and Autophagy Preserve Survival after Apoptotic Cytochrome c Release in the Absence of Caspase Activation
In cells undergoing apoptosis, mitochondrial outer-membrane permeabilization (MOMP) is followed by caspase activation promoted by released cytochrome c. Although caspases mediate the apoptotic phenotype, caspase inhibition is generally not sufficient for survival following MOMP; instead cells undergo a "caspase-independent cell death" (CICD). Thus, MOMP may represent a point of commitment to ce...
