    It is well known that the so-called "apoptosis-enforcing protein" BAX encounters DRP1 on the mitochondrial membrane of cells


    BAX is a key protein in the cell death pathway


    "When we artificially force these two proteins to interact, they move from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria, where the protein complex triggers the reorganization of the mitochondria


    Combining methods such as dimerization-dependent fluorescence techniques, cross-linking mass spectrometry, and analysis of different protein fragments, the interacting surfaces were also identified for the first time


    Work on this study began at the Interfaculty Institute for Biochemistry in Tübingen, Germany, and was completed at the CECAD Research Center of the Institute of Genetics in the Garcia-Seth laboratory
