Human Gene BIK (ENST00000216115.3) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens BCL2 interacting killer (BIK), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001197) RefSeq Summary (NM_001197): The protein encoded by this gene shares a critical BH3 domain with other death-promoting proteins, such as BID, BAK, BAD and BAX, that is required for its pro-apoptotic activity, and for interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the BCL2 family, and viral survival-promoting proteins. Since the activity of this protein is suppressed in the presence of survival-promoting proteins, it is suggested as a likely target for anti-apoptotic proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000216115.3 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000100290.3 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr22:43,110,750-43,129,712 Size: 18,963 Total Exon Count: 5 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr22:43,124,023-43,129,305 Size: 5,283 Coding Exon Count: 4
ID:BIK_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Bcl-2-interacting killer; AltName: Full=Apoptosis inducer NBK; AltName: Full=BIP1; AltName: Full=BP4; FUNCTION: Accelerates programmed cell death. Association to the apoptosis repressors Bcl-X(L), BHRF1, Bcl-2 or its adenovirus homolog E1B 19k protein suppresses this death-promoting activity. Does not interact with BAX. SUBUNIT: Interacts with RHBDL4/RHBDD1. INTERACTION: P10415:BCL2; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-700794, EBI-77694; Q07817:BCL2L1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-700794, EBI-78035; Q07817-1:BCL2L1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-700794, EBI-287195; Q92843:BCL2L2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-700794, EBI-707714; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endomembrane system; Single-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass membrane protein (By similarity). Note=Around the nuclear envelope, and in cytoplasmic membranes. DOMAIN: Intact BH3 motif is required by BIK, BID, BAK, BAD and BAX for their pro-apoptotic activity and for their interaction with anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. PTM: Proteolytically cleaved by RHBDL4/RHBDD1. RHBDL4/RHBDD1- induced cleavage is a necessary step prior its degradation by the proteosome-dependent mechanism.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
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.
