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 کاملThe Anti-Apoptotic Bcl-xL Protein, a New Piece in the Puzzle of Cytochrome C Interactome
A structural model of the adduct between human cytochrome c and the human anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-x(L), which defines the protein-protein interaction surface, was obtained from solution NMR chemical shift perturbation data. The atomic level information reveals key intermolecular contacts identifying new potentially druggable areas on cytochrome c and Bcl-x(L). Involvement of residues on cyto...
متن کاملAnother piece in the puzzle
Pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury is complex and involves many cell types and mechanisms of action. Van Putte and coworkers have attempted to provide insight into and describe some of the complex components of this process. Their study describes two new components of the multifaceted process of reperfusion injury. The time-dependent course of neutrophil activation and the discovery of progr...
متن کاملAnother piece of the meiosis puzzle
M the process by which the ovary and testis produce haploid gametes from initially diploid cells, is essential for sexual reproduction in mammals. This process, initially described in the late 19th and early 20th century using model organisms such as sea urchins, worms and fruit flies, continues to attract extensive interest from reproductive biologists due to its centrality in gametogenesis. T...
متن کاملAnother Piece of the p27Kip1 Puzzle
How extracellular signals communicate with the cell cycle is poorly understood. In this issue, two papers address this problem by reporting phosphorylation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27Kip1 on a tyrosine residue by nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which decreases p27 stability. This new mechanism could explain how cells enter the cell cycle from a quiescent state.
