The Mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase proton pump is required for function of the proapoptotic protein Bax in yeast and mammalian cells

Abstract

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, also partially abrogated the cytotoxic actions of Bax in yeast. In mammalian cells, oligomycin also inhibited Bax-induced apoptosis and activation of cell death proteases. The findings imply that an intact F0F1-ATPase in the inner membrane of mitochondria is necessary for optimal function of Bax in both yeast and mammalian cells.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
