Its interaction with the BAX INHIBITOR 1 (BI1) protein, which has a function in programmed cell death and response to pathogen infection (Weis et al., 2013), has been further investigated, and it was speculated that this interaction facilitates the assembly or stabilization of a glucosinolate biosynthetic enzyme complex (Weis et al., 2014). Here, TMBIM6 is linked to infection.
