Binding Hot Spot for Invasion Inhibitory Molecules on Plasmodium falciparum Apical Membrane Antigen 1†

Harris, Karen S., Casey, Joanne L., Coley, Andrew M., Masciantonio, Rosella, Sabo, Jennifer K., Keizer, David W., ...

Apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is expressed in schizont-stage malaria parasites and sporozoites and is thought to be involved in the invasion of host red blood cells. AMA1 is an important vaccine...

Structural insights into the degradation of Mcl-1 induced by BH3 domains

Czabotar, Peter E., Lee, Erinna F., Van Delft, Mark F., Day, Catherine L., Smith, Brian J., Huang, David C. S., ...

Apoptosis is held in check by prosurvival proteins of the Bcl-2 family. The distantly related BH3-only proteins bind to and antagonize them, thereby promoting apoptosis. Whereas binding of the...

A novel BH3 ligand that selectively targets Mcl-1 reveals that apoptosis can proceed without Mcl-1 degradation

Lee, Erinna F., Czabotar, Peter E., Van Delft, Mark F., Michalak, Ewa M., Boyle, Michelle J., Willis, Simon N., ...

Like Bcl-2, Mcl-1 is an important survival factor for many cancers, its expression contributing to chemoresistance and disease relapse. However, unlike other prosurvival Bcl-2–like proteins, Mcl-1...

Apoptosis is triggered when prosurvival Bcl-2 proteins cannot restrain Bax

Fletcher, Jamie I., Meusburger, Sarina, Hawkins, Christine J., Riglar, David T., Lee, Erinna F., Fairlie, W. Douglas, ...

A central issue in the control of apoptosis is whether its essential mediators Bax and Bak must be restrained by Bcl-2-like prosurvival relatives to prevent their damaging mitochondria and unleashing...
