Regulation of Bcl-X splicing by G-quadruplexes enables regulation by G-quadruplex ligands to favour apoptosis

The Bcl-2 family of proteins are the primary regulators of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, with anti-apoptotic members up regulated in cancer. Bcl-X is of particular interest, as it can be alternatively spliced to yield antagonistic proteins, the proapoptotic Bcl-XS and the anti-apoptotic Bcl-XL. H...
