Abstract
Mechanistic insights into the function of the pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family member BOK have remained elusive. A recent study shows that healthy cells constitutively degrade BOK via the ER-associated degradation and ubiquitin–proteasome pathways; following proteasome inhibition, BOK is stabilized to initiate a unique pro-apoptotic death program.
