BAX and BAK are generally considered as fully interchangeable for mitochondrial permeabilization and consequent apoptotic cell death. Garcia-Saez and colleagues have recently documented striking kinetic differences that influence BAX and BAK oligomerization at the mitochondrial surface. These data have important implications for inflammatory responses driven by mitochondrial DNA.
BAX 和 BAK 通常被认为可完全互换用于线粒体通透化和随后的细胞凋亡。Garcia-Saez 及其同事最近记录了显著的动力学差异,这些差异影响线粒体表面 BAX 和 BAK 的寡聚化。这些数据对线粒体 DNA 驱动的炎症反应具有重要意义。
