Disease relevance of BNIP3

 

Psychiatry related information on BNIP3

 

High impact information on BNIP3

  • After transfection, both Nip3 and Nip3(163) protein levels decrease steadily over 48 h indicating that the protein is rapidly degraded and this occurs in the absence of cell death [7].
  • Bcl-2 overexpression initially delays the onset of apoptosis induced by Nip3 but the resistance is completely overcome in longer periods of incubation [7].
  • Nip3 is expressed in mitochondria and a mutant (Nip3(163)) lacking the putative transmembrane domain and COOH terminus does not dimerize or localize to mitochondria [7].
  • Transient transfection of epitope-tagged Nip3 in Rat-1 fibroblasts and MCF-7 breast carcinoma induces apoptosis within 12 h while cells transfected with the Nip3(163) mutant have a normal phenotype, suggesting that mitochondrial localization is necessary for induction of cell death [7].
  • Nip3 (nineteen kD interacting protein-3) is an E1B 19K and Bcl-2 binding protein of unknown function [7].

Associations of BNIP3 with chemical compounds

  • Deletion of the BH3-like motif in BNIP3 abrogates its ability to heterodimerize with E1B-19K and BCL-xL [8].
  • The methylation status of CpG dinucleotides within the BNIP3 promoter was analyzed after bisulfite treatment by sequencing and methylation-specific PCR [3].
  • Deletion mapping of BNIP3 excluded its BH3-like domain and identified the NH(2) terminus (residues 1-49) and TM domain as critical for Bcl-2 heterodimerization, and either region was sufficient for Bcl-X(L) interaction [16].
  • Downregulation of BNIP3 resulted in increased resistance to 5-fluoro-uracil and gemcitabine [17].
  • Moreover, treating methylated cells with the methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine restored hypoxia-induced expression of BNIP3 mRNA and protein, which in turn led to cell death [18].
  • We demonstrate that hypoxia-reoxygenation and agents that activate protein kinase C, including calcium ionophore, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, and okadaic acid, also induce Bnip3 [19].
 

Physical interactions of BNIP3

  • Furthermore, HIF-1alpha directly binds to a consensus HIF-1alpha-responsive element (HRE) in the human BNIP3 promoter that upon mutation of this HRE site eliminates the hypoxic responsiveness of the promoter [15].
 

Regulatory relationships of BNIP3

 

Other interactions of BNIP3

  • Using CD47 as bait in a yeast two-hybrid system, we identified the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3)-only protein 19 kDa interacting protein-3 (BNIP3), a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, as a novel partner [14].
  • Cellular protein BNIP3 is a BCL-2 family proapoptotic protein that interacts with viral antiapoptosis proteins such as adenoviruses E1B-19K and EBV-BHRF1 and cellular antiapoptosis proteins such as BCL-2 and BCL-xL [11].
  • Substitution of the BH3 domain of BNIP3 for the corresponding sequences of BAX functionally restores the pro-apoptotic and protein heterodimerization activities of BAX [8].
  • HIF-1-dependent regulation of hypoxic induction of the cell death factors BNIP3 and NIX in human tumors [1].
  • Overexpression of HIF1alpha, but not p53, induces the expression of BNIP3 [23].
