Apoptosis plays a major role in normal organism development, tissue homeostasis, and removal of damaged cells.
Disruption of this process has been implicated in a variety of diseases such as cancer.
Members of the Bcl-2 family are known to be critical regulators of this process.
These proteins are characterized by the presence of several conserved motifs termed Bcl-2 homology (BH) domains.
A related protein termed MAP-1 has recently been identified.
This protein contains a BH3-like domain and induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in mammalian cells when overexpressed.
It forms homodimers and associates with Bcl-2 family members such as Bax, Bcl-2, and Bcl-XL in vitro and in vivo.
It has been suggested that MAP-1 associates with the tumor suppressor RASSF1A following death receptor activation, allowing a conformational change in Bax that leads to cellular apoptosis.
