In a search for the physiological conditions able to suppress the disruption of electron transport through the inner mitochondrial membrane induced by Bax, we found that respiratory substrate – lactate completely abolished Bax toxicity in yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. The effect of lactate was dependent on the presence of cytochrome c, as no effect was observed in the cytochrome c null strain. The investigation of lactate effect on markers of Bax toxicity showed that: (i) oxidation of lactate did not affect the decrease in oxygen consumption, but (ii) lactate was able to diminish the generation of reactive oxygen species and simultaneously to suppress Bax-induced cell death. We show that suppression of Bax lethality in K. lactis can be, in addition to anti-apoptotic proteins, achieved also by the utilization of lactate in the mitochondria.
