Differential targeting of prosurvival Bcl-2 proteins by their BH3-only ligands allows complementary apoptotic function

TL;DR: The results suggest that apoptosis relies on selective interactions between particular subsets of these proteins and that it should be feasible to discover BH3-mimetic drugs that inactivate specific prosurvival targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

ABC transporters in cancer: more than just drug efflux pumps.

TL;DR: It is proposed that delineating the precise roles of these transporters in tumorigenesis and treatment response will be important for the development of more effective targeted therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmed Anuclear Cell Death Delimits Platelet Life Span

TL;DR: It is shown that an intrinsic program for apoptosis controls platelet survival and dictates their life span, and this represents an important paradigm for cellular homeostasis, and has profound implications for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders that affect platelet number and function.
