Summary
BOK (BCL2 family apoptosis regulator BOK, HGNC:1087) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q37.3, encoding Bcl-2-related ovarian killer protein (Q9UMX3). Apoptosis regulator that functions through different apoptotic signaling pathways.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the BCL2 family, members of which form homo- or heterodimers, and act as anti- or proapoptotic regulators that are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes. Studies in rat show that this protein has restricted expression in reproductive tissues, interacts strongly with some antiapoptotic BCL2 proteins, not at all with proapoptotic BCL2 proteins, and induces apoptosis in transfected cells. Thus, this protein represents a proapoptotic member of the BCL2 family.

Function. Apoptosis regulator that functions through different apoptotic signaling pathways. Plays a roles as pro-apoptotic protein that positively regulates intrinsic apoptotic process in a BAX- and BAK1-dependent manner or in a BAX- and BAK1-independent manner. In response to endoplasmic reticulum stress promotes mitochondrial apoptosis through downstream BAX/BAK1 activation and positive regulation of PERK-mediated unfolded protein response. Activates apoptosis independently of heterodimerization with survival-promoting BCL2 and BCL2L1 through induction of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, in a BAX- and BAK1-independent manner, in response to inhibition of ERAD-proteasome degradation system, resulting in cytochrome c release. In response to DNA damage, mediates intrinsic apoptotic process in a TP53-dependent manner. Plays a role in granulosa cell apoptosis by CASP3 activation. Plays a roles as anti-apoptotic protein during neuronal apoptotic process, by negatively regulating poly ADP-ribose polymerase-dependent cell death through regulation of neuronal calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial bioenergetics in response to NMDA excitation. In addition to its role in apoptosis, may regulate trophoblast cell proliferation during the early stages of placental development, by acting on G1/S transition through regulation of CCNE1 expression. May also play a role as an inducer of autophagy by disrupting interaction between MCL1 and BECN1. Pro-apoptotic molecule exerting its function through the mitochondrial pathway.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer; positively regulates apoptotic process. Homodimer. Heterodimer. Oligomer; promoted by apoptotic stimuli and BH3-only proteins; mediates constitutive activation. Interacts (via BH4 domain) with ITPR1; enhances BOK expression and stabilization; limits apoptosis and prevents ubiquitination and then degradation; protects ITPR1 from proteolysis by CASP3 during apoptosis. Interacts with ITPR2 and ITPR3; binds most strongly to ITPR2, and barely to ITPR3; regulates their expression. Interacts with XPO1; translocates to the cytoplasm. Interacts with BNIP3; promotes oligomerization.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Mitochondrion inner membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Mitochondrion. Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion outer membrane. Early endosome membrane. Recycling endosome membrane. Nucleus outer membrane. Golgi apparatus. cis-Golgi network membrane. trans-Golgi network membrane. Membrane Membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed mainly in oocytes; weak expression in granulosa cells of the developing follicles. In adult human ovaries, expressed in granulosa cells at all follicular stages, but expression in primordial/primary follicles granulosa cell is stronger than in secondary and antral follicles.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated by AMFR/gp78 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex; mediates degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in a VCP/p97-dependent manner; prevents from pro-apoptotic activity; promotes degradation of newly synthesized proteins that are not ITPR1 associated.
Domain organisation. BH4 domain mediates interaction with ITPR1.
Induction. Up-regulated by DNA damage.
Similarity. Belongs to the Bcl-2 family.
