Abstract
Self-interacting BAX proteins permeabilize outer mitochondrial membranes to trigger apoptotic cell death. Czabotar et al. present two revealing structures of BAX dimers: one dimer has an activator BH3 helix bound into its canonical cleft, and the other dimer exposes a planar hydrophobic face potentially critical for membrane interactions.Entities:
