The X-ray Structure of a Bak Homodimer Reveals an Inhibitory Zinc Binding Site
Overview
BAK/BAX-mediated mitochondrial outer-membrane permeabilization (MOMP), drives cell death during development and tissue homeostasis from zebrafish, to humans. In most cancers, this pathway is inhibited by BCL-2 family, antiapoptotic members, which bind and block the action of proapoptotic BCL, proteins. We report the 1.5 A crystal structure of calpain-proteolysed, BAK, cBAK, to reveal a zinc binding site that regulates its activity via, homodimerization. cBAK contains an occluded BH3 peptide binding pocket, that binds a BID BH3 peptide only weakly . Nonetheless, cBAK requires, activation by truncated BID to induce cytochrome c release in mitochondria, isolated from bak/bax double-knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts. The, BAK-mediated MOMP is inhibited by low micromolar zinc levels. This, inhibition is alleviated by mutation of the zinc-coordination site in BAK., Our results link directly the antiapoptotic effects of zinc to BAK.
