Prevention of Apoptosis by Bcl-2: Release of Cytochrome c from Mitochondria Blocked

TL;DR: One possible role of Bcl-2 in prevention of apoptosis is to block cytochrome c release from mitochondria, which is normally located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy

Daniel J. Klionsky, +1287 more
- 01 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Superoxide in apoptosis. Mitochondrial generation triggered by cytochrome c loss

TL;DR: Bcl-2, a protein that protects against apoptosis and blocks cytochrome c release, prevents superoxide production when it is overexpressed, and provides a mechanism for redox signaling that is concomitant with cy tochrome c-dependent activation of caspases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial control of apoptosis: the role of cytochrome c.

TL;DR: Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins function as gatekeepers to prevent the release of both cyt c and AIF and may also be involved in the direct binding of Apaf molecules as regulatory elements further downstream from the mitochondrial apoptotic signals.
