http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/9463381http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Bcl-2 and close homologues such as Bcl-xL promote cell survival, while other relatives such as Bax antagonize this function. Since only the pro-survival family members possess a conserved N-terminal region denoted BH4, we have explored the role of this amphipathic helix for their survival function and for interactions with several agonists of apoptosis, including Bax and CED-4, an essential regulator in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. BH4 of Bcl-2 could be replaced by that of Bcl-x without perturbing function but not by a somewhat similar region near the N-terminus of Bax. Bcl-2 cell survival activity was reduced by substitutions in two of ten conserved BH4 residues. Deletion of BH4 rendered Bcl-2 (and Bcl-xL) inactive but did not impair either Bcl-2 homodimerization or ability to bind to Bax or five other pro-apoptotic relatives (Bak, Bad, Bik, Bid or Bim). Hence, association with these death agonists is not sufficient to promote cell survival. Significantly, however, Bcl-xL lacking BH4 lost the ability both to bind CED-4 and antagonize its pro-apoptotic activity. These results favour the hypothesis that the BH4 domain of pro-survival Bcl-2 family members allows them to sequester CED-4 relatives and thereby prevent apoptosis."xsd:string
