== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) family members, BCL2-associated protein X (BAX) and BCL2 homologous antagonist killer (BAK), are required for programmed cell death via the mitochondrial pathway. When cells are stressed, damaged or redundant, the balance of power between the BCL2 family of proteins shifts towards BAX and BAK, allowing their transition from an inactive, monomeric state to a membrane-active oligomeric form that releases cytochrome c from the mitochondrial intermembrane space. That oligomeric state has an essential intermediate, a symmetric homodimer of BAX or BAK. Here we describe crystal structures of dimers of the core domain of BAX, comprising its helices alpha2-alpha5. These structures provide an atomic resolution description of the interactions that drive BAX homo-dimerisation and insights into potential interaction between core domain dimers and membrane lipids. The previously identified BAK lipid-interacting sites are not conserved with BAX and are likely to determine the differences between them in their interactions with lipids. We also describe structures of heterodimers of BAK/BAX core domains, yielding further insight into the differences in lipid binding between BAX and BAK.
Sequence differences between BAX and BAK core domains manifest as differences in their interactions with lipids.,Miller MS, Cowan AD, Brouwer JM, Smyth ST, Peng L, Wardak AZ, Uren RT, Luo C, Roy MJ, Shah S, Tan Z, Reid GE, Colman PM, Czabotar PE FEBS J. 2023 Dec 13. doi: 10.1111/febs.17031.

Function

BAX_HUMAN Accelerates programmed cell death by binding to, and antagonizing the apoptosis repressor BCL2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein. Under stress conditions, undergoes a conformation change that causes translocation to the mitochondrion membrane, leading to the release of cytochrome c that then triggers apoptosis. Promotes activation of CASP3, and thereby apoptosis.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
