In the present study, we show in vitro a direct interaction of Bcl-2 with the rat skeletal muscle SERCA (sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase), leading to destabilization and inactivation of the protein. Recombinant human Bcl-2D21, a truncated form of Bcl-2 with a deletion of 21 residues at the C-terminal...
