In nonmyeloid cells, Shigella hijacks the mitochondrial checkpoint of cell death, thereby inducing a regulated form of necrosis depending on Bnip3 and cyclophilin D. Carneiro et al. (2009) describe the interplay between this program and a prosurvival response transmitted via the Nod1/Rip2/NF-kappaB/Bcl-2 axis, which determines the fate of infected cells.
