Do Alix and ALG‐2 really control endosomes for better or for worse?

Abstract excerpt

Alix/AIP1 (ALG-2-interacting protein X/apoptosis-linked-gene-2-interacting protein 1) is an adaptor protein that was first described for its capacity to bind to the calcium-binding protein ALG-2 (apoptosis-linked gene 2), the expression of which seemed necessary for cell death. Over-expression of truncated forms of Alix blocks caspase-dependent and -independent mechanisms of cell death. Numerous observations in...
