TY - JOUR T1 - Yeast as a tool to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying the functions of Bcl-2 family AU - Manon, Stéphen Y1 - 2022/// JO - Exploration of Targeted Anti-tumor Therapy VL - 3 IS - 2 SP - 128 EP - 148 DO - 10.37349/etat.2022.00076 UR - https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/etat/Article/100276 AB - The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a favorite model in biology, does not contain any protein of the Bcl-2 family. From initial experiments with two-hybrid systems to the heterologous expression of human Bcl-2 family members, and the characterization of several forms of yeast programmed cell death, it has however always been a powerful tool to gain information on the mechanisms of apoptosis in general and on Bcl-2 family in particular. This is a short survey of 25 years of experiments that have provided, and at times initiated, insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of Bcl-2 family members. ER -
