Abstract

The Bcl-2 family proteins play critical roles in regulation of apoptosis, and the balanced interaction of pro- and anti-death members is a key factor in determining the cell fate. Noxa, a BH3-only Bcl-2-family member, has been originally identified as a target gene of p53. To understand the mechanism by which human Noxa (hNoxa) regulates the cell death, we screened the hNoxa binding partner using the yeast two hybrid screening and found that anti-death protein Mcl-1 binds to hNoxa. The binding of hNoxa to Mcl-1 was confirmed by immunoprecipitation in human colon cancer cell line HCT 116 cells. Mcl-1 significantly inhibited the hNoxa-induced cell death in HCT 116 cells. During the cell death induced by hNoxa, Mcl-1 protein was degraded. Its degradation was inhibited by z-VAD-fmk, a pancaspase inhibitor, suggesting caspase is responsible for Mcl-1 degradation in response to hNoxa. Together, the results indicate that hNoxa binds to Mcl-1 that is degraded by cas-pases during hNoxa-induced cell death.

Bcl-2 family 단백질은 세포사 조절에 매우 중요한 역할을 하며 세포사 촉진 Bcl-2 family 단백질과 세포사 억제 Bcl-2 family 단백질 사이의 균형적인 상호작용이 세포의 운명을 결정하는 주요인자이다. Bcl-2 family 단백질 중 하나인 Noxa 단백질은 p53 에 의한 전사되는 단백질로 처음 발견되었다. Noxa 단백질이 어떻게 세포사를 조절하는지를 이해하기 위해 Yeast two-hybrid 방법을 통해 Noxa 단백질과 결합하는 파트너 단백질을 검색하였고 이를 통해 세포사 억제 단백질 중 하나인 Mcl-1를 발견하였다. 사람 대장암 세포주인 HCT 116에서 Noxa 단백질과 Mcl-1 단백질이 결합하는 것을 면역침전 방법을 통하여 확인하였다. HCT 116 세포주에서 Mcl-1 단백질 과다발현은 Noxa에 의한 세포사 유도를 크게 억제하였다. Noxa 단백질 과다발현에 의한 세포사 과정에서 Mcl-1 단백질이 분해되는 것을 발견하였고 이는 caspase 억제제인 z-VAD-fmk에 의해서 억제되었다. 이는 Mcl-1 단백질이 cas-pase에 의해서 분해되는 것으로 간주된다. 결론적으로, Noxa와 Mcl-1의 결합은 세포사 과정 중 caspase에 의한 Mcl-1 단백질 분해를 유도를 매개할 수 있을 것으로 추측된다.
