Description: Bim/Bod is a pro-apoptotic protein belonging to the BH3-only group of Bcl-2 family members including Bad, Bid, Bik, Hrk and Noxa that contain a BH3 domain but lack other conserved BH1 or BH2 domains (1, 2). Bim induces apoptosis by binding to and antagonizing anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family. Interactions have been observed with Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, Bcl-w, Bfl-1 and BHRF-1 (1, 2). Bim functions in regulating apoptosis associated with thymocyte negative selection and following growth factor withdrawal, during which Bim expression is elevated (3-6). Three major isoforms of Bim are generated by alternative splicing: BimEL, BimL and BimS (1). The shortest form, BimS, is the most cytotoxic and is generally only transiently expressed during apoptosis. The BimEL and BimL isoforms may be sequestered to the dynein motor complex through an interaction with the dynein light chain and released from this complex during apoptosis (7). Apoptotic activity of these longer isoforms may be regulated by phosphorylation (8, 9). Environmental stress triggers Bim phosphorylation by JNK and results in its dissociation from the dynein complex and increased apoptotic activity.
Function: Induces apoptosis and anoikis. Isoform BimL is more potent than isoform BimEL. Isoform Bim-alpha1, isoform Bim-alpha2 and isoform Bim-alpha3 induce apoptosis, although less potent than isoform BimEL, isoform BimL and isoform BimS. Isoform Bim-gamma induces apoptosis. Isoform Bim-alpha3 induces apoptosis possibly through a caspase-mediated pathway. Isoform BimAC and isoform BimABC lack the ability to induce apoptosis.
Subunit Structure: Forms heterodimers with a number of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, including MCL1, BCL2, BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L), BCL2A1/BFL-1, BHRF1, and BCL2L2/BCLW (PubMed:11997495, PubMed:27013495, PubMed:18812174). Isoform BimS and isoform Bim-alpha3 interact with BAX; this interaction may lead to BAX activation through conformational change (PubMed:11997495). Does not heterodimerize with proapoptotic proteins such as BAD, BOK or BAK. Identified in a complex containing BCL2L11, DYNLL1 and BCL2L1 isoform Bcl-X(L); BH3 integrity is required for BCL2L1-binding. Interacts with YWHAZ. When phosphorylated, interacts with TRIM2; this interaction is associated with ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:21478148). Interacts with MCL1; may sequester BCL2L11 to prevent its pro-apoptotic activity (PubMed:27013495, PubMed:17389404). When phosphorylated, isoform BimEL interacts with USP27X; this interaction leads to BCL2L11 deubiquitination and stabilization (PubMed:27013495).
Post-translational Modifications: Phosphorylation at Ser-69 by MAPK1/MAPK3 leads to interaction with TRIM2 and polyubiquitination, followed by proteasomal degradation (PubMed:15486195, PubMed:21478148). Deubiquitination catalyzed by USP27X stabilizes the protein (By similarity). Ubiquitination by TRIM2 following phosphorylation by MAPK1/MAPK3 leads to proteasomal degradation. Conversely, deubiquitination catalyzed by USP27X stabilizes the protein.
Similarity: The BH3 motif is required for interaction with Bcl-2 proteins and cytotoxicity. Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL-2 protein family. BCL-2 family members form hetero- or homodimers and act as anti- or pro-apoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular activities. The protein encoded by this gene contains a Bcl-2 homology domain 3 (BH3). It has been shown to interact with other members of the BCL-2 protein family and to act as an apoptotic activator. The expression of this gene can be induced by nerve growth factor (NGF), as well as by the forkhead transcription factor FKHR-L1, which suggests a role of this gene in neuronal and lymphocyte apoptosis. Transgenic studies of the mouse counterpart suggested that this gene functions as an essential initiator of apoptosis in thymocyte-negative selection. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]
