Apaf1 Foci Reveal the Cellular Apoptosome
2026-08-22
Borgeaud and colleagues show that Apaf1 forms transient, organelle-sized cytoplasmic foci when mitochondrial apoptosis begins, providing cellular evidence for a dynamic apoptosome rather than only a purified heptameric complex. Live-cell imaging and mechanistic perturbations link these foci to cytochrome c, procaspase-9, and cell-death commitment, while focus disassembly is associated with survival.
