Their findings have been published in the November 3, 1995, issue of Oncogene (11:1921-1928, 1995). The publication describes the cloning and analysis of this newly discovered protein, Bik (Bcl-2 interacting killer). It interacts with a group of cellular and viral proteins - the Bcl-2 family - which are known to regulate apoptosis in a wide variety of cell types. In April 1995, ATI scientists published the cloning and functional analysis of another protein, Bak, which...
