Also known as Nip2BNIP-2
Summary
BNIP2 (BCL2 interacting protein 2, HGNC:1083) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q22.2, encoding BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 2 (Q12982). Implicated in the suppression of cell death. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 13.6% of cell lines).
This gene is a member of the BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kd-interacting protein (BNIP) family. It interacts with the E1B 19 kDa protein, which protects cells from virally-induced cell death. The encoded protein also interacts with E1B 19 kDa-like sequences of BCL2, another apoptotic protector. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 11)
- Transfection of the bnip2 cDNA in neuroblastoma cell line results in massive cell death counteracted by Bcl-2 overexpression; bnip2 is the mediator of the anti-apoptotic activity of estrogens in a variety of cells (PMID:11744098)
- BNIPL-2, a novel homologue of BNIP-2, interacts with Bcl-2 and Cdc42GAP in apoptosis. (PMID:12901880)
- BNIP-2 has a role in regulating cell dynamics with a novel Rho GTPase-activating protein, BPGAP1 (PMID:12944407)
- BNIP-2 in vivo induces cell dynamics by recruiting Cdc42 (PMID:15652341)
- Our results suggest that the caspase-mediated cleavage of BNIP-2 and BNIP-XL could result in the release of the BCH domain or smaller fragments that are crucial for their proapoptotic activities. (PMID:17961507)
- Inhibition of BNIP-2 expression did not affect the susceptibility to NK cell-mediated killing. (PMID:20704564)
- Data imply that SIRT1 may mediate MPP(+)-induced cytotoxicity, possibly through the regulation of BNIP2. (PMID:21130087)
- BNIP-2 directly interacted with the motor and tail domains of KIF5B via its BCH domain. (PMID:25378581)
- BNIP-2 is a kinesin-1 adapter involved in vesicular transportation in the cytoplasm and that association with cargos depends on interaction of the CRAL-TRIO domain with membrane phosphatidylserine. (PMID:25472445)
- BNIP-2 retards breast cancer cell migration by coupling microtubule-mediated GEF-H1 and RhoA activation. (PMID:32789168)
