Abstract excerpt
BCL2 and BCL-x(L) facilitate G(0) quiescence by decreasing RNA content and cell size and up-regulating p27 protein, but the precise mechanism is not understood. We investigated the relationship between cell cycle regulation and the anti-apoptosis function of BCL2 and BCL-x(L). Neither caspase inhibition nor abrogation of mitochondria-dependent apoptosis by BAX and BAK deletion fully recapitulated the G(0) effects...
