Summary
BNIP3L (BCL2 interacting protein 3 like, HGNC:1085) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p21.2, encoding BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3-like (O60238). Induces apoptosis.
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the pro-apoptotic subfamily within the Bcl-2 family of proteins. The encoded protein binds to Bcl-2 and possesses the BH3 domain. The protein directly targets mitochondria and causes apoptotic changes, including loss of membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c.

- Mieap-induced accumulation of lysosomes within mitochondria (MALM) regulates gastric cancer cell invasion under hypoxia by suppressing reactive oxygen species accumulation. (PMID:30808977)
- NIX-mediated mitophagy is a new oncogenic KRAS effector pathway that suppresses functional mitochondrial content to stimulate cell proliferation and augment redox homeostasis. This pathway promotes the progression of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and represents a new dependency in pancreatic cancer. (PMID:31263025)
- NIX was overexpressed in the pseudopalisading cells that envelop the hypoxic-necrotic regions, and mitochondrial NIX expression was robust in patient-derived glioblastoma tumor tissues and glioblastoma stem cells.

Function. Induces apoptosis. Interacts with viral and cellular anti-apoptosis proteins. Can overcome the suppressors BCL-2 and BCL-XL, although high levels of BCL-XL expression will inhibit apoptosis. Inhibits apoptosis induced by BNIP3. Involved in mitochondrial quality control via its interaction with SPATA18/MIEAP: in response to mitochondrial damage, participates in mitochondrial protein catabolic process (also named MALM) leading to the degradation of damaged proteins inside mitochondria. The physical interaction of SPATA18/MIEAP, BNIP3 and BNIP3L/NIX at the mitochondrial outer membrane regulates the opening of a pore in the mitochondrial double membrane in order to mediate the translocation of lysosomal proteins from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix. May function as a tumor suppressor.
Subunit / interactions. Self-associates. Interacts with BNIP3 and STEAP3. Interacts (via BH3 domain) with SPATA18 (via coiled-coil domains). Interacts with PPTC7; this interaction promotes BNIP3L degradation. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human adenovirus-2 E1B 19 kDa protein. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus protein VIRF-1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus envelope. Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion outer membrane. Membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Undergoes progressive proteolysis to an 11 kDa C-terminal fragment, which is blocked by the proteasome inhibitor lactacystin.
Similarity. Belongs to the NIP3 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 51 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
