Perturbation of apoptosis upon binding of tRNA to the heme domain of cytochrome c

In response to apoptotic stimuli, cytochrome c , an inter-membrane space protein is released from mitochondria to activate the cascade of caspases that leads to apoptosis. Recent evidence suggests that cytochrome c interacts with tRNA in the cytoplasm and this interaction was shown to inhibit the ca...
