The minimal membrane requirements for BAX-induced pore opening upon exposure to oxidative stress.
Perforation of the outer mitochondrial membrane triggered by BAX and facilitated by its main activator cBID is a fundamental process in cell apoptosis. Here, we employ a newly designed correlative approach based on a combination of a fluorescence cross correlation binding with a calcein permeabilization assay to understand the involvement of BAX in pore formation under oxidative stress conditions. To mimic the oxidative stress, we enriched liposomal membranes by phosphatidylcholines with truncated sn-2 acyl chains terminated by a carboxyl or aldehyde moiety. Our observations revealed that oxidative stress enhances proapoptotic conditions involving accelerated pore-opening kinetics. This enhancement is achieved through increased recruitment of BAX to the membrane and facilitation of BAX membrane insertion. Despite these effects, the fundamental mechanism of pore formation remained unchanged, suggesting an all-or-none mechanism. In line with this mechanism, we demonstrated that the minimal number of BAX molecules at the membrane necessary for pore formation remains constant regardless of BAX activation by cBID or the presence of oxidized lipids. Overall, our findings give a comprehensive picture of the molecular mechanisms underlying apoptotic pore formation and highlight the selective amplifying role of oxidized lipids in triggering formation of membrane pores.
期刊介绍:
BJ publishes original articles, letters, and perspectives on important problems in modern biophysics. The papers should be written so as to be of interest to a broad community of biophysicists. BJ welcomes experimental studies that employ quantitative physical approaches for the study of biological systems, including or spanning scales from molecule to whole organism. Experimental studies of a purely descriptive or phenomenological nature, with no theoretical or mechanistic underpinning, are not appropriate for publication in BJ. Theoretical studies should offer new insights into the understanding ofexperimental results or suggest new experimentally testable hypotheses. Articles reporting significant methodological or technological advances, which have potential to open new areas of biophysical investigation, are also suitable for publication in BJ. Papers describing improvements in accuracy or speed of existing methods or extra detail within methods described previously are not suitable for BJ.
