The authors propose that BAX exists in an equilibrium between a cytosolic state in the presence of trophic factors, and a mitochondria-associated state that is mediated by BH3-only proteins in the absence of trophic factors, where BAX can interact and inactivate anti-apoptotic BCL2 proteins to trigger trophic-factor-withdrawal-induced neonatal neuronal death.

The first indication that neurotropic factor survival function might be mediated by regulating the expression of IAP proteins. This study shows that GDNF regulates endogenous XIAP and NIAP in motor neurons after sciatic nerve axotomy, and inhibition of XIAP prevents GDNF-mediated neuroprotective rescue of motor neurons from neonatal axotomy.

This paper demonstrates that XIAP functions as a 'safety brake' in sympathetic neurons and is a key player in the resistance (or competence pathway) of sympathetic neurons to apoptotic death. Neuronal cell death fails to occur on endogenous mitochondrial SMAC and cytochrome c release, unless XIAP levels are reduced, indicating that XIAP normally functions to protect against any accidental caspase activation if cytochrome c is unexpectedly released into the neuron's cytoplasm.
