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 novel, widely expressed member termed Bcl-rambo was recently identified.
This protein is localized to mitochondria in mammalian cells and its overexpression induces apoptosis which could be blocked by co-expression of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) such as XIAP, cIAP1, and cIAP2.
Bcl-rambo shows overall homology to the anti-apoptotic members containing BH motifs, but unlike Bcl-2, the C-terminal membrane anchor of Bcl-rambo is preceded by a unique 250aa insertion.
This region by itself can induce apoptosis more efficiently than the Bcl-2 homology regions, suggesting that Bcl-rambo may be important other pro-apoptotic pathways.
