BCL2

This gene encodes an integral outer mitochondrial membrane protein that blocks the apoptotic death of some cells such as lymphocytes. Constitutive expression of BCL2, such as in the case of translocation of BCL2 to Ig heavy chain locus, is thought to be the cause of follicular lymphoma. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Interaction

Forms homodimers, and heterodimers with BAX, BAD, BAK and Bcl-X(L). Heterodimerization with BAX requires intact BH1 and BH2 motifs, and is necessary for anti-apoptotic activity (PubMed:8183370, 25609812). Part of a complex composed of SEPTIN4 isoform ARTS, XIAP and BCL2, within the complex interacts (via BH3 domain) with SEPTIN4 isoform ARTS and XIAP, SEPTIN4 isoform ARTS acts as a scaffold protein and stabilizes the complex (PubMed:29020630). Interacts with EI24 (By similarity). Also interacts with APAF1, BBC3, BCL2L1, BNIPL, MRPL41 and TP53BP2. Binding to FKBP8 seems to target BCL2 to the mitochondria and probably interferes with the binding of BCL2 to its targets. Interacts with BAG1 in an ATP-dependent manner. Interacts with RAF1 (the 'Ser-338' and 'Ser-339' phosphorylated form). Interacts (via the BH4 domain) with EGLN3; the interaction prevents the formation of the BAX-BCL2 complex and inhibits the anti-apoptotic activity of BCL2. Interacts with G0S2; this interaction also prevents the formation of the anti-apoptotic BAX-BCL2 complex. Interacts with RTL10/BOP. Interacts with the SCF(FBXO10) complex. Interacts (via the loop between motifs BH4 and BH3) with NLRP1 (via LRR repeats), but not with NLRP2, NLRP3, NLRP4, PYCARD, nor MEFV (PubMed:17418785). Interacts with GIMAP3/IAN4, GIMAP4/IAN1 and GIMAP5/IAN5 (By similarity). Interacts with BCAP31 (PubMed:31206022). Interacts with IRF3; the interaction is inhibited by Sendai virus infection (PubMed:25609812). Interacts with BECN1; thereby inhibiting autophagy in non-starvation conditions (PubMed:18570871, 21358617). Interacts with AMBRA1; thereby inhibiting autophagy (PubMed:21358617).
