    Abstract: Although the proteins BAX and BAK are required for initiation of apoptosis at the mitochondria, how BAX and BAK are activated remains unsettled. We provide in vivo evidence demonstrating an essential role of the proteins BID, BIM, and PUMA in activating BAX and BAK. Bid , Bim , and Puma triple-knockout mice showed the same developmental defects that are associated with deficiency of Bax and Bak , including persistent interdigital webs and imperforate vaginas. Genetic deletion of Bid , Bim , and Puma prevented the homo-oligomerization of BAX and BAK, and thereby cytochrome c–mediated activation of caspases in response to diverse death signals in neurons and T lymphocytes, despite the presence of other BH3-only molecules. Thus, many forms of apoptosis require direct activation of BAX and BAK at the mitochondria by a member of the BID, BIM, or PUMA family of proteins.

    Abstract: Three forms of cell death have been described: apoptosis, autophagic cell death, and necrosis. Although genetic and biochemical studies have formulated a detailed blueprint concerning the apoptotic network, necrosis is generally perceived as a passive cellular demise resulted from unmanageable physical damages. Here, we conclude an active de novo genetic program underlying DNA damage-induced necrosis, thus assigning necrotic cell death as a form of “programmed cell death.” Cells deficient of the essential mitochondrial apoptotic effectors, BAX and BAK, ultimately succumbed to DNA damage, exhibiting signature necrotic characteristics. Importantly, this genotoxic stress-triggered necrosis was abrogated when either transcription or translation was inhibited. We pinpointed the p53-cathepsin axis as the quintessential framework underlying necrotic cell death. p53 induces cathepsin Q that cooperates with reactive oxygen species (ROS) to execute necrosis. Moreover, we presented the in vivo evidence of p53-activated necrosis in tumor allografts. Current study lays the foundation for future experimental and therapeutic discoveries aimed at “programmed necrotic death.”
