of apoptosis has a central role. The BCL2 family of proteins, comprising both pro-apoptotic (BAX, BAK) and pro-survival (BCL2, BCL-XL, MCL1 and BCL-W) members, are pivotal players in this
process. Protein–protein interactions between the two sides, mediated by the BH3 domain of pro-apoptotic members, which inserts into a groove in the in the surface of the pro-survival
members, control the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane, and the deadly release of cytochrome _c_. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS
