Journal ArticleDOI
Necroptosis Execution Is Mediated by Plasma Membrane Nanopores Independent of Calcium.
Uris Ros,Aida Peña-Blanco,Kay Hänggi,Ulrich Kunzendorf,Stefan Krautwald,W. Wei-Lynn Wong,Ana J. García-Sáez,Ana J. García-Sáez +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that early increase in cytosolic calcium in TNF-induced necroptosis is mediated by treatment with a Smac mimetic via the TNF/RIP1/TAK1 survival pathway and requires the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL core.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy for the study of membrane dynamics and protein/lipid interactions.
TL;DR: The theoretical basis of FCS is described and some practical implications for its application in membrane studies are discussed, including sources of potential artifacts, such as membrane undulations, positioning of the detection volume, and photobleaching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore formation in regulated cell death.
TL;DR: This work compares and contrast how BAX/BAK, Gasdermins, and MLKL alter membrane permeability from a structural and biophysical perspective and discusses the general principles of membrane permeabilization in the execution of regulated cell death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferroptotic pores induce Ca2+ fluxes and ESCRT-III activation to modulate cell death kinetics.
Lohans Pedrera,Rafael A. Espiritu,Rafael A. Espiritu,Uris Ros,Josephine Weber,Anja Schmitt,Jenny Stroh,Stephan Hailfinger,Silvia von Karstedt,Ana J. García-Sáez +9 more
TL;DR: These findings with ferroptosis provide a unifying concept that sustained increase of cytosolic Ca2+ prior to plasma membrane rupture is a common feature of regulated types of necrosis and position ESCRT-III activation as a general protective mechanism in these lytic cell death pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pores Formed by Baxα5 Relax to a Smaller Size and Keep at Equilibrium
Gustavo Fuertes,Ana J. García-Sáez,Santi Esteban-Martín,Diana Gimenez,Orlando L. Sánchez-Muñoz,Petra Schwille,Jesús Salgado +6 more
TL;DR: Investigating the pore activity of the α5 fragment from the proapoptotic protein Bax (Baxα5) before and after equilibrium of peptide/vesicle complexes results in stable pores on single giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), and stable pores were also detected in GUVs made in the presence of Bax α5.
