Abstract
Background: BH3 mimetics are promising chemotherapeutics, but their full mechanisms of action are underexplored.
Results: BAX, BID, and BIM directly influence BH3 mimetics to pharmacologically inhibit anti-apoptotic BCL-2 proteins.
Conclusion: BH3 mimetics display differential activities that are dependent upon both anti- and proapoptotic BCL-2 members function.
Significance: Understanding how BH3 mimetics function within the BCL-2 family repertoire will improve the utility of these drugs.
