The pro-apoptotic effector Bid induces mitochondrial apoptosis in synergy with Bax and Bak. In response to death receptors activation, Bid is cleaved by caspase-8 into its active form, tBid (truncated Bid), which then translocates to the mitochondria to trigger cytochrome c release and subsequent apoptosis. Accumulating evidence now indicate that the binding of tBid initiates an ordered sequences of events that prime mitochondria from the action of Bax and Bak: (1) tBid interacts with mitochondria via a specific binding to cardiolipin (CL) and immediately disturbs mitochondrial structure and function idependently of its BH3 domain; (2) Then, tBid activates through its BH3 domain Bax and/or Bak and induces their subsequent oligomerization in mitochondrial membranes. To date, the underlying mechanism responsible for targeting tBid to mitochondria and disrupting mitochondrial bioenergetics has yet be elucidated.

View all literature mentionsA bioinformatics platform that is a joint project of several South of France laboratories with available services based on their expertise, issued from their research activities which involve phylogenetics, population genetics, molecular evolution, genome dynamics, comparative and functional genomics, and transcriptome analysis. Most of the software and databases on ATGC are (co)authored by researchers from South of France teams. Some are widely used and highly cited. South of France laboratories: * CRBM (transcriptomes and stem cells). * IBC (computational biology). * MiVEGEC (evolution and phylogeny). * LGDP (plant genomics). * LIRMM (computer science). * South Green (plant genomics).
