General annotation (Comments)

Function

Potent inhibitor of cell death. Isoform Bcl-X(L) anti-apoptotic activity is inhibited by association with SIVA isoform 1. Inhibits activation of caspases By similarity. Appears to regulate cell death by binding and blocking the voltage-dependent anion channnel (VDAC), thus preventing the release of the caspase activator, cytochrome c, from the mitochondrial membrane. The Bcl-X(S) isoform promotes apoptosis.

Subunit structure

Bcl-X(L) forms heterodimers with BAX, BAK and BCL2 By similarity. Heterodimerization with BAX does not seem to be required for anti-apoptotic activity By similarity. Also interacts with BBC3 By similarity. Isoform Bcl-X(L) binds to binds to Siva isoform 1. Interacts with BECN1 and PGAM5 By similarity. Interacts with BCL2L11.

Subcellular location

Isoform Bcl-X(L): Mitochondrion membrane. Note: Mitochondrial membranes and perinuclear envelope for Bcl-X(L).

Isoform Bcl-X(delta-TM): Cytoplasm.

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed, with highest levels in the brain, thymus, bone marrow, and kidney. Bcl-X(L) and Bcl-X(delta-TM) expression is enhanced in B- and T-lymphocytes that have been activated.

Developmental stage

Bcl-X(beta) is expressed in both embryonal and postnatal tissues, whereas Bcl-X(L) is predominantly found in postnatal tissues.

Domain

The BH4 motif is required for anti-apoptotic activity. The BH1 and BH2 motifs are required for both heterodimerization with other Bcl-2 family members and for repression of cell death.

Post-translational modification

Proteolytically cleaved by caspases during apoptosis By similarity. The cleaved protein, lacking the BH4 motif, has pro-apoptotic activity By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
