Intricate links between ER stress and apoptosis
Abstract
Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) interacts with Bax, neutralizing its proapoptotic activity. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Lisbona et al. (2009) show that BI-1 directly inhibits IRE1alpha, an essential mediator of the UPR, thereby facilitating crosstalk between apoptosis and ER stress pathways.
