This flow chart shows how BH3-only binds with BAX in apoptosis

Cell death may be triggered by ‘hit-and-run’ interaction

Neuroscience NewsApril 9, 2019

Two different parts to the BAX protein can bind to BH3-only, and these sites function at different stages of BAX activation. When BH3-only binds to one of the regions, BAX becomes able to damage mitochondria. ... Read More...
