摘要
Beclin 1 has been recently shown to possess a Bcl-2 homology-3 (BH3) domain that mediates its interaction with antiapoptotic multidomain proteins. Unlike other BH3-only proteins, Beclin 1 fails to stimulate apoptosis when it is overexpressed. In this issue of Oncogene, Ciechomska et al. report the intriguing finding that Bcl-2, as it interacts with Beclin 1, does not lose its anti-apoptotic potential. This finding may have far-reaching implications for the comprehension of the cross-talk between apoptosis and autophagy.
