摘要
We identified genes based on screening of an Arabidopsis cDNA library for functional suppressors of mouse Bax-induced cell death of yeast cells. Interestingly, the cDNA encoding AtEBP, known as Arabidopsis thaliana ethylene-responsive element binding protein, was isolated numerous times in the functional screen (82% of all suppressors). Full-length AtEBP and its localization to the nucleus were essential for the suppression of Bax-induced cell death. Morphological abnormality of intracellular network that is a hallmark of Bax-induced cell death was attenuated by expression of AtEBP. (C) 2001 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
