Blockade of the BAK Hydrophobic Groove by Inhibitory Phosphorylation Regulates Commitment to Apoptosis

The BCL-2 family protein BAK is a key regulator of mitochondrial apoptosis. BAK activation first involves N-terminal conformational changes that lead to the transient exposure of the BAK BH3 domain that then inserts into a hydrophobic groove on another BAK molecule to form symmetric dimers. We showe...
