Bcl-2 family in inter-organelle modulation of calcium signaling; roles in bioenergetics and cell survival

Abstract: Bcl-2 family proteins, known for their apoptosis functioning at the mitochondria, have been shown to localize to other cellular compartments to mediate calcium (Ca2+) signals. Since the proper supply of Ca2+ in cells serves as an important mechanism for cellular survival and bioenergetics, we propose an integrating role for Bcl-2 family proteins in modulating Ca2+ signaling. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main Ca2+ storage for the cell and Bcl-2 family proteins competitively regulate its Ca2+ concentrat… Show more

“…Interacts with VDAC1-Because Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL modulation of the ER-mitochondrial Ca 2ϩ transfer is likely occurring at the close contact sites between these two organelles (11), we therefore assessed whether VDAC1, IP 3 Rs, Bcl-2, and Bcl-XL localize at the MAMs as anticipated or indicated by previous studies (1,40,41). The immunoblotting results ( Fig.…”

“…2B) [41]. Bcl-2-related proteins are localized to the ER [42], bind to the IP 3 Rs [43] and regulate the ER-mediated cell viability via IICR modulation [44]. Recent studies have shown that the Bcl-2 homology (BH) 4 domain of Bok binds constitutively to the residues 1895-1903 of the coupling domain of the IP 3 R and this binding is very potent (Fig.…”

“…Bcl-2 prevents Ca 2+ release from the ER by binding to the BH4 domain in IP3R and RyR, and inhibiting their activities [25]. In cadmium-treated cerebral cortical neurons cells, cadmium decreases Bcl-2 and increases Bax, promoting Ca 2+ overload and triggering cell apoptosis [26].…”
