Necroptosis Execution Is Mediated by Plasma Membrane Nanopores Independent of Calcium.

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.

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

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.
