| Background: | Bcl-2 and its family members control cell death. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 inhibit apoptosis, while Bad, Bax, Bak, Bik and Bcl-xS promote apoptosis in several conditions. Bag-1 cDNA was identified as a Bcl-2 binding protein, which lacks sequence homology with Bcl-2, and its related proteins. Bag-1 enhances the anti-apoptotic activity of Bcl-2. Bag-1 specifically interacts with Raf-1 kinase in vitro and in yeast two hybrid assays. It suggests that Bag-1 joins Ras and 14-3-3 proteins as potential activators of the Raf-1 kinase. Moreover Bag-1 binds to the intracellular domain of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor, suggesting that enhances protection from apoptosis. These suggest that Bag-1 represents a new type of anti-cell death gene and that routes of apoptosis induction previously ascribed to Bcl-2 independent pathway may instead reflect a need for the combination of Bcl-2 and Bag-1. |
