BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19kD protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), also known as 19kD interacting protein 3 (NIP3), is a proapoptotic member of Bcl-2 protein family.
BNIP3 is a 194 amino acid, 21.5kD (predicted) protein that contains a single Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain and a C-terminal transmembrane domain required for mitochondrial localization, homodimerization, and regulation of its proapoptotic function.
BNIP3 was identified as one of several proteins that interact with discrete domains of Bcl-2 and the E1B 19kD protein.
Under conditions of prolonged oxygen deprivation, the hypoxia-induced protein HIF1-alpha activates expression of BNIP3, which in turn, promotes apoptosis under these conditions.
The mechanism of BNIP3-mediated apoptosis is independent of caspase activation and cytochrome c release and is characterized by early plasma membrane and mitochondrial damage, prior to the appearance of chromatin condensation or DNA fragmentation.
Human BNIP3 shares 90% amino acid identity with mouse and rat BNIP3.
Human BNIP3 shares 56% amino acid sequence identity with human BNIP3L.
