Human Gene BCL2L11 (uc002tgv.1)
  Description: Homo sapiens BCL2-like 11 (apoptosis facilitator) (BCL2L11), transcript variant 1, mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_138621): The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL-2 protein family. BCL-2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. The protein encoded by this gene contains a Bcl-2 homology domain 3 (BH3). It has been shown to interact with other members of the BCL-2 protein family and to act as an apoptotic activator. The expression of this gene can be induced by nerve growth factor (NGF), as well as by the forkhead transcription factor FKHR-L1, which suggests a role of this gene in neuronal and lymphocyte apoptosis. Transgenic studies of the mouse counterpart suggested that this gene functions as an essential initiator of apoptosis in thymocyte-negative selection. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013].

  ID: B2L11_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Bcl-2-like protein 11; Short=Bcl2-L-11; AltName: Full=Bcl2-interacting mediator of cell death;
FUNCTION: Induces apoptosis. Isoform BimL is more potent than isoform BimEL. Isoform Bim-alpha1, isoform Bim-alpha2 and isoform Bim-alpha3 induce apoptosis, although less potent than isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS. Isoform Bim-gamma induces apoptosis. Isoform Bim-alpha3 induces apoptosis possibly through a caspase-mediated pathway. Isoform BimAC and isoform BimABC lack the ability to induce apoptosis.
SUBUNIT: Forms heterodimers with a number of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins including MCL1, BCL2, BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L), BCL2A1/BFL-1, BHRF1, and BCLW. Isoform BimS and isoform Bim-alpha3 interact with BAX; this interaction induces the conformationally active form of BAX. Does not heterodimerize with proapoptotic proteins such as BAD, BOK or BAK (By similarity). Interacts with DYNLL1 and YWHAZ (By similarity). When phosphorylated, interacts with TRIM2; this interaction is associated with ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity).
INTERACTION: Q07812:BAX; NbExp=11; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-516580; P10415:BCL2; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-526420, EBI-77694; Q07440:Bcl2a1 (xeno); NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-707754; Q07817-1:BCL2L1; NbExp=8; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-287195; Q92843:BCL2L2; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-707714; P63244:GNB2L1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-296739; Q07820:MCL1; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-1003422; P97287:Mcl1 (xeno); NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-526406, EBI-707292; P14174:MIF; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-526420, EBI-372712;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endomembrane system; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity). Note=Associated with intracytoplasmic membranes (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform BimEL: Mitochondrion.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform BimL: Mitochondrion.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform BimS: Mitochondrion.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform Bim-alpha1: Mitochondrion.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS are the predominant isoforms and are ubiquitously expressed with a tissue-specific variation. Isoform Bim-gamma is most abundantly expressed in small intestine and colon, and in lower levels in spleen, prostate, testis, heart, liver and kidney.
INDUCTION: By ER stress in a DDIT3/CHOP-dependent manner.
DOMAIN: The BH3 motif is required for Bcl-2 binding and cytotoxicity.
PTM: Phosphorylation by MAPK1/MAPK3 induces interaction with TRIM2, followed by ubiquitination (By similarity).
PTM: Ubiquitinated by TRIM2 following phosphorylation by MAPK1/MAPK3, leading to degradation by the proteasome (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
