Human Bcl-XL containing a Glu to Leu mutation at position 92
Overview
Cells expressing high levels of the BCL-X(L) anti-apoptotic protein are, preferentially killed by the mitochondrial inhibitor antimycin A (AA)., Computational modeling predicts a binding site for AA in the extended, hydrophobic groove on BCL-X(L), previously identified as an interface for, dimerization to BAX and related proapoptotic proteins. Here, we identify, BCL-X(L) hydrophobic groove mutants with normal cellular anti-apoptotic, function but suppressed sensitivity to AA. The LD(50) of AA for cells, expressing BCL-X(L) mutants directly correlates with the measured in vitro, dissociation constants for AA binding. These results indicate that, BCL-X(L) is a principal target mediating AA cytotoxicity.
