20 HOW DO PRO-APOPTOTIC BCL2 FAMILY MEMBERS PROMOTE APOPTOSIS? THERE APPEARS TO BE A TWO STEP MECHANISM REQUIRING BOTH BAX FAMILY MEMBERS AND BH3-DOMAIN ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS BOTH BAX AND BAK ARE REQUIRED FOR MITOCHONDRIALLY-DEPENDENT APOPTOSIS OVER-EXPRESSION OF PRO-APOPTOTIC BAX AND BAK MEMBERS CAUSES CYTOCHROME C RELEASE & DEATH BOTH ARE BH1-3 BAX FAMILY MEMBERS AND BOTH APPEAR TO BE REQUIRED FOR MANY CASES OF APOPTOSIS KNOCKOUT OF BAX AND BAK PROTECTS CELLS FROM DEATH 20

MITOCHONDRIAL-DEPENDENT APOPTOSIS REQUIRES BH3-ONLY PROTEINS AS WELL AS BAX/BAK OVER-EXPRESSION OF BH3-ONLY PROTEINS INDUCES APOPTOSIS, BUT NOT IN ABSENCE OF BAX OR BAK. SO THE LATTER APPEAR TO WORK DOWNSTREAM OF BH3 MOLECULES IN ABSENCE OF BH3-ONLY PROTEINS BAX AND BAK DO NOT CHANGE CONFORMATION AND FORM PORES THUS, APOPTOTIC DEATH VIA THE MITOCHONDRION REQUIRES BOTH BH3-ONLY PROTEINS AND BAX/BAK 21

22 HOW DO BAX/BAK AND BH3-ONLY PROTEINS COOPERATE TO INDUCE CYTOCHROME-C RELEASE AND APOPTOSIS? 1) BH3-ONLY PROTEINS DISPLACE BAX/BAK FROM BCL2 AND OTHER ANTI-APOPTOTIC FAMILY MEMBERS HOW DO BH3-ONLY PROTEINS COOPERATE WITH BAX/BAK TO INDUCE CYTOCHROME-C RELEASE AND APOPTOSIS?

29 DEATH BY MURDER - RECEPTOR MEDIATED IN ADDITION TO SUICIDE (THE INTRINSIC APOPTOTIC MECHANISM), THERE IS ALSO A MAMMALIAN MECHANISM FOR MURDERING CELLS (THE EXTRINSIC APOPTOTIC PATHWAY) THE EXTRINSIC APOPTOTIC PATHWAY IS REGULATED BY A SERIES OF SPECIFIC DEATH-PROMOTING RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS. OCCUPATION OF THESE RECEPTORS BRINGS ABOUT ACTIVATION OF PATHWAYS THAT CULMINATE IN CELL DEATH. THE RECEPTOR-MEDIATED PATHWAY OF APOPTOTIC DEATH DEATH DOMAIN TRAIL-R1 TRAIL-R2 CELL INTERIOR 29

32 ROLE OF TRANSCRIPTION IN APOPTOSIS IN MANY, BUT NOT ALL PARADIGMS OF APOPTOTIC DEATH CELLS MUST SYNTHESIZE SPECIFIC GENES TO DIE THE PATHWAYS THAT REGULATE SUCH DEATH-ASSOCIATED GENES APPEAR TO BE ACTIVATED BY MECHANISMS THAT ARE INDEPENDENT OF MITOCHONDRIA.
