Abstract

Apoptosis is a host defense mechanism against viruses that can be subverted by viral gene products. Human cytomegalovirus encodes viral mitochondria-localized inhibitor of apoptosis (vMIA; also known as pUL37x1), which is targeted to mitochondria and functions as a potent cell death suppressor by binding to and inhibiting proapoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bak. vMIA expression also dramatically alters mitochondrial morphology, causing the fragmentation of these organelles. A potential ortholog of vMIA, m38.5, which was identified in murine cytomegalovirus, has been shown to localize to mitochondria and protect against chemically induced apoptosis by unknown mechanisms. Despite sharing negligible homology with vMIA and no region detectably corresponding to the vMIA Bax-binding domain, we find that m38.5, like vMIA, binds to Bax and recruits Bax to mitochondria. Interestingly, m38.5 and vMIA appear to block Bax downstream of translocation to mitochondria and after an initial stage of Bax conformational change. In contrast to vMIA, m38.5 neither binds to Bak nor causes mitochondrial fragmentation. Consistently with Bax-selective inactivation by m38.5, m38.5 fragments mitochondria in Bak knockout (KO) cells and protects Bak ...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
