Multistep and multitask Bax activation [PDF]
Bax is a pro-apoptotic protein allowing apoptosis to occur through the intrinsic, damage-induced pathway, and amplifying that one occurring via the extrinsic, receptor mediated pathway. Bax is present in viable cells and activated by pro-apoptotic stimuli.

BAX and BAK Caught in the Act [PDF]
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Kim et al. (2009) describe the steps involved in the direct activation of the proapoptotic proteins BAX and BAK by their BH3-only partners, resolving the controversy regarding direct versus indirect activation of these proteins.

Inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) suppresses porcine oocyte ageing in vitro
Oocyte ageing is a complex of processes that occur when matured in vitro oocytes are, after reaching the metaphase II stage, exposed to further in vitro culture.

Biphasic translocation of Bax to mitochondria [PDF]
Using green fluorescent protein-tagged Bax, we demonstrate that Bax is sequestered from the cytosol of cardiomyocytes in two distinct phases following the induction of apoptosis with staurosporine. In the first phase, lasting several hours, Bax removal from the cytosol was relatively small.

Quantitation of mitochondrial dynamics by photolabeling of individual organelles shows that mitochondrial fusion is blocked during the Bax activation phase of apoptosis [PDF]
A dynamic balance of organelle fusion and fission regulates mitochondrial morphology. During apoptosis this balance is altered, leading to an extensive fragmentation of the mitochondria.

Allosteric sensitization of proapoptotic BAX [PDF]
BCL-2-associated X protein (BAX) is a critical apoptotic regulator that can be transformed from a cytosolic monomer into a lethal mitochondrial oligomer, yet drug strategies to modulate it are underdeveloped due to longstanding difficulties in conducting screens on this aggregation-prone protein.
