This PDF file includes:
- Fig. S1. VDAC1 and VDAC2 are found in a wide range of mouse tissues.
- Fig. S2. Abundance of VDAC2 by genotype.
- Fig. S3. Analysis of thymocyte numbers by genotype.
- Fig. S4. Effect of the deficiency in Vdac2 on the abundance of other VDAC isoforms and of pro- and antiapoptotic proteins.
- Fig. S5. Conditional deletion of Vdac2 results in enhanced apoptosis in DP thymocytes.
- Fig. S6. WT and Vdac2 null thymocytes display comparable kinetics of BIM
induction.
- Fig. S7. Deficiency in Bak rescues the apoptotic phenotype associated with deletion
of Vdac2.
- Fig. S8. Deficiency in Bax fails to rescue the apoptotic phenotype associated with
deletion of Vdac2.
- Fig. S9. Deficiency in both Vdac2 and Bak does not affect homeostasis or survival of
thymocytes.
- Fig. S10. Vdac2 null thymocytes display an enhanced apoptotic response to TCR
stimulation, which is rescued by deficiency in Bak, but not Bax.
- Fig. S11. PCR analysis of Vdac2 deletion in thymocyte subsets.
