Bcl-2 family member Bfl-1/A1 sequesters truncated Bid to inhibit its collaboration with pro-apoptotic Bak or Bax

TL;DR: It is found that Bfl-1 associates with both full-length Bid and truncated (t)Bid, via the Bid BH3 domain, and remains tightly and selectively bound to tBid and blocks collaboration between tBID and Bax or Bak in the plane of the mitochondrial membrane, thereby preventing mitochondrial apoptotic activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ordering of ceramide formation, caspase activation, and mitochondrial changes during CD95- and DNA damage–induced apoptosis

TL;DR: The data imply that Cer is not instrumental in the activation of inducer caspases or signaling to the mitochondria, Rather, Cer formation is associated with the execution phase of apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis induction by Bid requires unconventional ubiquitination and degradation of its N-terminal fragment

TL;DR: It is concluded that unconventional ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of tBid-N is required to unleash the proapoptotic activity of t Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain in the cleaved complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

CD95/Fas-induced ceramide formation proceeds with slow kinetics and is not blocked by caspase-3/CPP32 inhibition.

TL;DR: The results support the idea that ceramide acts in conjunction with the caspase cascade in CD95-induced apoptosis, with kinetics closely paralleling apoptosis induction.
