Abstract
⺠pH tightly modulates oligomerization of BclXL. ⺠Acidic pH promotes the assembly of BclXL into a megadalton oligomer. ⺠BclXL displays structural features characteristic of a molten globule under acidic pH. ⺠Membrane insertion of BclXL is favored under acidic pH. ⺠Ligand binding to BclXL is compromised under acidic and alkaline pH.
