    text
  • expressed in target of the mitochondria, when inducing apoptosis
  • colocalizing with HSPD1
  • basic FUNCTION
  • inhibiting growth of cancer cells
  • promoting apoptosis and repressing survival genes
  • playing a role in tumor suppression
  • required for the selective elimination of mitochondria
  • playing a critical role in programmed mitochondrial clearance during reticulocyte maturation
  • crucial for hypoxia-induced autophagy by disrupting the Bcl2-beclin1 complex without inducing cell death, promoting tumor progression
  • may function simultaneously with BNIP320
  • can overcome the suppressors BCL2 and BCLXL, although high levels of BCLXL expression will inhibit apoptosis
  • functioning as a mitophagy-specific receptor through the direct interaction with the Atg8 homologues
  • functions by causing mitochondrial depolarization, activating autophagy, or engaging the autophagy machinery
  • plays a critical role in pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling and heart failure through mediating cardiomyocyte apoptosis
  • is a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that is required for the selective clearance of mitochondria 2)
  • BNIP3 regulates mitophagy during hypoxia, whereas BNIP3L is required for mitophagy during development of the erythroid lineage
  • temporally regulated role for BNIP3 and BNIP3L in the generation of robust NK cell memory
  • BNIP3L-dependent mitophagy results in a metabolic shift towards glycolysis essential for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) neurogenesis
  • BNIP3L-dependent mitophagy regulates cell differentiation via metabolic reprogramming
  • involvement of BNIP3L/NIX in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I-R)-induced mitophagy

    protein
  • heterodimerizing with BCL2L7P1 (BCLX) binding adenovirus E1B, BCL3, BCL2, BCL2L1
  • colocolazing with mitochondrial HSPD1
  • part of a pathway in which IGFBP7 increases expression of SMARCB1, which in turn leads to increased expression of BNIP3L culminating in apoptosis
  • interacting with STEAP3
  • binding to GABARAP
  • SPATA18, BNIP3 and BNIP3L at the mitochondrial outer membrane may play a critical role in the translocation of lysosomal proteins from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix
  • partners of CLN8 are VAPA, C14orf1/hERG28, STX8, GABARAPL2, BNIP3 and BNIP3L proteins and are associated with biologically relevant processes such as synthesis and transport of lipids, vesicular/membrane trafficking, autophagy/mitophagy and apoptosis
  • BNIP3L is a substrate of PRKN to drive PRKN-mediated mitophagy, and promoting mitophagy in the PINK1/PRKN pathway associated with Parkinson Disease pathogenesis
  • different mitophagy effectors, including the mitophagy receptors BNIP3L, BNIP3 and FUNDC1 and the PINK1/Parkin pathway, have been identified to participate in the selective clearance of mitochondria
  • roles of BNIP3L-mediated mitophagy are independent from PRKN

  • may be a novel therapeutic target for intervention because of its pathological roles in regulating cell deth in disease states
  • ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Nix(-/-) mice developed anaemia with reduced mature erythrocytes and compensatory expansion of erythroid precursors
  • retinas from Nix-deficient mice displayed increased mitochondrial mass, reduced expression of glycolytic enzymes and decreased neuronal differentiation
