Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria triggers activation of caspase proteases and death of a cell by apoptosis. However, the mechanism and kinetics of cytochrome c release remain unknown. Here we study this event by using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged cytochrome c, and find that the release of cytochrome-c–GFP always precedes exposure of phosphatidylserine and the loss of plasma-membrane integrity — characteristics of apoptotic cells. Once initiated, the release of cytochrome-c… Expand
