Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is a phylogenetically ancient mitochondrial intermembrane flavoprotein (reviewed in 1 and 2). Recombinant AIF induces caspase-independent peripheral chromatin condensation and large-scale DNA fragmentation when added to purified nuclei. Upon apoptosis induction, AIF translocates to the cytosol and the nucleus.
