Pro-apoptotic Bid induces membrane perturbation by inserting selected lysolipids into the bilayer.

Abstract excerpt

Bid is a BH3-only member of the Bcl-2 family that regulates cell death at the level of mitochondrial membranes. Bid appears to link the mitochondrial pathway with the death receptor-mediated pathway of cell death. It is generally assumed that the f.l. (full-length) protein becomes activated after proteolytic cleavage, especially by apical caspases like caspase 8. The cleaved protein then relocates to mitochondria...
