- Extra Details:
- The Bcl-2 families of apoptosis-related genes plays central roles in regulating apoptotic pathways. Regulation of cell death through apoptosis is critical for the maintenance of homeostasis; defense against infectious agents; and normal development. Bcl-2 family proteins regulate apoptosis primarily through the regulation of mitochondrial outer membrane permeability. In mammals; the family consists of both prosurvival (antiapoptotic) and proapoptotic (prodeath) members. Bcl-2 family proteins can be divided into 3 main subfamilies on the basis of their function and the content of their Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains; for example: 1) Prosurvival: Bcl-2; Bcl-XL; Bcl-W; A1; and Mcl-1 2) Proapoptotic (multidomain): Bax; Bak; and Bok. 3) BH3-only (proapoptotic): Bad; Bcl-XS; Bid; Bik; Bim; Blk; Bmf; Bnip; Noxa; and Puma. Mouse Bad is 204 amino acid proteins and rat Bad is a 205 amino acid protein. The prosurvival members inhibit cells from undergoing apoptosis; whereas proapoptotic and BH3-only subfamily members promote apoptosis. There are 4 BH domains (1-4) conserved among Bcl-2 family proteins. The BH domains are important for function as well as for heterodimerization between family members. Typical prosurvival family members have all four BH domains (1-4); whereas proapoptotic (multidomain) members have BH1; 2 and 3 domains and BH3-only members have only the BH3 domain. Overall; the relative ratio of prosurvival and proapoptotic proteins determines the suseptibility of a cell to various apoptotic stimuli. Prosurvival proteins are often elevated in diverse cancers and have the potential to confer resistance to both endogenous cell death stimuli and cancer treatments. Alterations in the ratio or levels of Bcl-2 family proteins have been also associated with nonmalignant diseases including neurodegenerative diseases; autoimmune diseases; AIDs; Downs syndrome; cardiovascular diseases; diabetes; glomerulonephritis; and muscular dystrophy.
