Deletion of the BH3-only protein <i>puma</i> protects motoneurons from ER stress-induced apoptosis and delays motoneuron loss in ALS mice
11 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
BH3-only proteins couple diverse stress signals to the evolutionarily conserved mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Previously, we reported that the activation of the BH3-only protein p53-up-regulated mediator of apoptosis (Puma) was necessary and sufficient for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress- and proteasome inhibition-induced apoptosis in neuroblastoma and other cancer cells. Defects in protein quality control...
