Apoptosis: Key to the mitochondrial gate
Jean-Claude Martinou
The mitochondrion, which was once thought simply to generate energy for a cell, is, in fact, a pivotal decision centre — it controls life and death by releasing death-promoting factors into the cytosol. One of these factors is cytochrome c, a protein that normally shuttles electrons between protein complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- Jean-Claude Martinou is at the Serono Pharmaceutical Research Institute, 14 chemin des Aulx, CH-1228 Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Switzerland.
