This is the latest in a series of papers from this group that differentiates between cells that utilize the mitochondrial amplificatory loop and those that do not. The recognition of two general types of cell behavior should help to clear up conflicting interpretations of data obtained with different cell types.

Bid induced conformational change of Bax is responsible for mitochondrial cytochrome c release during apoptosis. J Cell Biol. 144:1999;891-901. Possibly a landmark paper - time will tell. The authors use amino-terminal accessibility as a means of following Bax activation on the mitochondrial membrane, presenting strong evidence that it is mediated by Bid.

The authors use point mutations at Ser185 to show how the conformation of the carboxyl terminus of Bax determines whether it autoinserts, inserts normally, or does not insert, in the outer membrane. Best read with [15], showing that insertion unmasks the accessibility of the amino terminus.
