Abstract excerpt
The proapoptotic mammalian protein Bax associates with mitochondrial membranes and confers a lethal phenotype when expressed in yeast. By generating Bax-resistant mutant yeast and using classical complementation cloning methods, subunits of the mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase proton pump were determined to be critical for Bax-mediated killing in S. cerevisiae. A pharmacological inhibitor of the proton pump, oligomycin,...
