BID-dependent and BID-independent pathways for BAX insertion into mitochondria
S C Ruffolo et al. Cell Death Differ. 2000 Nov.
Abstract
In the absence of an apoptotic signal, BAX adopts a conformation that constrains the protein from integrating into mitochondrial membranes. Here, we show that caspases, including caspase-8, can initiate BAX insertion into mitochondria in vivo and in vitro. The cleavage product of caspase-8, tBID, induced insertion of BAX into mitochondria in vivo, and reconstitution in vitro showed that tBID, either directly or indirectly, relieved inhibition of the BAX transmembrane signal-anchor by the NH2-terminal domain, resulting in integration of BAX into mitochondrial membrane. In contrast to these findings, however, Bid-null mouse embryo fibroblasts supported Bax insertion into mitochondria in response to death signaling by either TNFalpha or E1A, despite the fact that cytochrome c release from the organelle was inhibited. We conclude, therefore, that a parallel Bid-independent pathway exists in these cells for mitochondrial insertion of Bax and that, in the absence of Bid, cytochrome c release can be uncoupled from Bax membrane insertion.
