Six-transmembrane Topology for Golgi Anti-apoptotic Protein (GAAP) and Bax Inhibitor 1 (BI-1) Provides Model for the Transmembrane Bax Inhibitor-containing Motif (TMBIM) Family*
The Golgi anti-apoptotic protein (GAAP) is a hydrophobic Golgi protein that regulates intracellular calcium fluxes and apoptosis. GAAP is highly conserved throughout eukaryotes and some strains of vaccinia virus (VACV) and camelpox virus. Based on sequence, phylogeny, and hydrophobicity, GAAPs were classified within the transmembrane Bax inhibitor-containing motif (TMBIM) family. TMBIM members ...
متن کاملThe Characteristics of Bax Inhibitor-1 and its Related Diseases
Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an evolutionarily-conserved endoplasmic reticulum protein. The expression of BI-1 in mammalian cells suppresses apoptosis induced by Bax, a pro-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family. BI-1 has been shown to be associated with calcium (Ca(2+)) levels, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cytosolic acidification, and autophagy as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress s...
متن کاملThe Growth-hormone inducible transmembrane protein (Ghitm) belongs to the Bax inhibitory protein-like family
The conserved protein domain UPF0005 is a protein family signature distributed among many species including fungi and bacteria. Although of unknown functionality this motif has been found in newly identified antiapoptotic proteins comprising the BI-1 family, namely Bax-inhibitory Protein-1 (BI-1), Lifeguard (LFG), and h-GAAP. In a search for vertebrate proteins presumably belonging to the BI-1 ...
متن کاملDissection of Arabidopsis Bax inhibitor-1 suppressing Bax-, hydrogen peroxide-, and salicylic acid-induced cell death.
Overexpression of plant Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) was able to suppress Bax-mediated cell death in yeast and Arabidopsis. Here, we demonstrate that reactive oxygen species production induced by the ectopic expression of Bax was insensitive to the coexpression of AtBI-1. Similarly, H2O2- or salicylic acid-mediated cell death also was suppressed in tobacco BY-2 cells overexpressing AtBI-1. To define ...
متن کاملBax Inhibitor-1 regulates hepatic lipid accumulation via ApoB secretion
In this study, we explored the effects of Bax Inhibitor-1 (BI-1) on ApoB aggregation in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic lipid accumulation. After 1 week on a HFD, triglycerides and cholesterol accumulated more in the liver and were not effectively secreted into the plasma, whereas after 8 weeks, lipids were highly accumulated in both the liver and plasma, with a greater effect in BI-1 KO mi...
