| Abstract | The role of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL in regulating mitochondrial Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]mito) handling was examined in wild-type (WT) and Bcl-xL knock-out (Bcl-xL-KO) mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-generating agonist evoked cytosolic Ca(2+) transients that produced a larger [Ca(2+)]mito uptake in WT cells compared with Bcl-xL-KO. In permeabilized cells, stepping external [Ca(2+)] from 0 to 3 µm also produced a larger [Ca(2+)]mito uptake in WT; moreover, the [Ca(2+)]mito uptake capacity of Bcl-xL-KO cells was restored by re-expression of mitochondrially targeted Bcl-xL. Bcl-xL enhancement of [Ca(2+)]mito uptake persisted after dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential but was absent in mitoplasts lacking an outer mitochondrial membrane. The outer membrane-localized voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is a known Ca(2+) permeability pathway that directly interacts with Bcl-xL. Bcl-xL interacted with VDAC1 and -3 isoforms, and peptides based on the VDAC sequence disrupted Bcl-xL binding. Peptides reduced [Ca(2+)]mito uptake in WT but were without effect in Bcl-xL-KO cells. In addition, peptides reduced [Ca(2+)]mito uptake in VDAC1 and VDAC3 knock-out but not VDAC1 and -3 double knock-out mouse embryonic fibroblast cells, confirming that Bcl-xL interacts functionally with VDAC1 and -3 but not VDAC2. Thus, an interaction between Bcl-xL and VDAC promotes matrix Ca(2+) accumulation by increasing Ca(2+) transfer across the outer mitochondrial membrane. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
