Molecular and topological reorganizations in mitochondrial architecture interplay during Bax-mediated steps of apoptosis
During apoptosis, Bcl-2 proteins such as Bax and Bak mediate the release of pro-apoptotic proteins from the mitochondria by clustering on the outer mitochondrial membrane and thereby permeabilizing it. However, it remains unclear how outer membrane openings form. Here, we combined different correlat...
