Ital J Biochem 52:43-50. 2003
..In addition, it is suggested that pro-apoptotic Bid may modulate key processes linking lipid constituents of mitochondrial membranes to lipid re-modelling that are altered early by death receptor signalling...

Post-translational modification of Bid has differential effects on its susceptibility to cleavage by caspase 8 or caspase 3Mauro Degli Esposti

J Biol Chem 278:15749-57. 2003
..Contrary to rBid, isolated Bid was resistant to cleavage by caspase 3, yet was readily cleaved within the cytosolic milieu. Our data suggest that one or more distinct cellular mechanisms regulate Bid cleavage by caspases 8 and 3 in situ...
