Disease relevance of BNIPL

  • We report here the identification of a novel member of BNIPL family, designated Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 2 like-2 (BNIPL-2), which interacts with Bcl-2 and Cdc42GAP [1].
  • We propose that BNIPL-2 protein may play an important role in regulation of both pathways for DNA fragmentation and for formation of membrane blebs in apoptotic cells [1].
  • The overexpression of BNIPL-2 promotes the invasion and metastasis of MHCC97-L cells [2].
  • In this study, a full-length human BNIPL-2 (Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 2 like-2) cDNA was transfected into human hepatocellular carcinoma cells with low metastatic potential (MHCC97-L) [2].
 

High impact information on BNIPL

  • The BNIP-S gene encodes two protein isoforms; the longer protein (BNIP-Salpha) contains a complete BNIP-2 and Cdc42GAP Homology (BCH) domain, a novel protein domain that we recently identified, whereas its shorter variant (BNIP-Sbeta) lacks the full BCH domain as a result of an alternative RNA splicing that introduces a nonsense intron [3].
  • The apoptosis-associated protein BNIPL interacts with two cell proliferation-related proteins, MIF and GFER [4].
  • Colony formation assay and cell proliferation test suggest that overexpression of BNIPL could inhibit the growth of BEL-7402 cells [4].
  • We found that the human BNIPL-2 shares homology to human BNIP-2 and also possesses a BNIP-2 and Cdc42GAP homology (BCH) domain [1].
  • Our data showed that BNIPL-2 may be a linker protein located at the front end of Bcl-2 pathway for DNA fragmentation and Cdc42 signaling for morphological changes during apoptosis [1].
