Proapoptotic Bak Is Sequestered by Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL, but Not Bcl-2, Until Displaced by BH3-only Proteins

TL;DR: The results indicate that Bak is held in check solely by Mcl-1 and Bcl-x(L) and induces apoptosis only if freed from both, and the finding that different prosurvival proteins have selective roles has notable implications for the design of anti-cancer drugs that target the B cl-2 family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species drive proinflammatory cytokine production

TL;DR: Recent work indicates that mitochondrial ROS act via several pathways to elicit proinflammatory cytokines in human and mouse cells and this work is likely to be important for understanding the role of ROS in inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultraviolet radiation triggers apoptosis of fibroblasts and skin keratinocytes mainly via the BH3-only protein Noxa

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that UVR activates the Bcl-2–regulated apoptotic pathway predominantly through activation of Noxa and, depending on cellular context, Puma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of proximal T cell receptor signaling and tolerance induction by deubiquitinase Usp9X.

TL;DR: It is shown that the deubiquitinating enzyme Usp9X is a regulator of T cell activation and its loss induces the development of a lupuslike autoimmune disease in mice.
