| Background Information | Mcl-1 (Induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein) is a potential transmembrane protein associated with the mitochondria belonging to the Bcl-2 family of proteins. Members of the Bcl-2 family have known participation in regulatory roles for apoptosis, cell growth, and differentiation. The hydrophobic carboxyl terminus is conserved among members of this family and in other members has proven to be a transmembrane region. Mcl-1 is found to be expressed early in myeloid differentiation. Two separate isoforms of Mcl-1 exist with opposing functions. Full length Mcl-1 (Isoform 1) promotes cell viability, over proliferation. Isoform 2 results from the skipping of the central exon of Mcl-1 during mRNA processing and the joining of the first and third exons. The function of the resulting protein induces apoptosis when accumulated. Pro-apoptotic function is shown to increase when isoform 1 and 2 dimerize. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene encodes an anti-apoptotic protein, which is a member of the Bcl-2 family. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The longest gene product (isoform 1) enhances cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis while the alternatively spliced shorter gene products (isoform 2 and isoform 3) promote apoptosis and are death-inducing.

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: Involved in the regulation of apoptosis versus cell survival, and in the maintenance of viability but not of proliferation. Mediates its effects by interactions with a number of other regulators of apoptosis. Isoform 1 inhibits apoptosis. Isoform 2 promotes apoptosis. SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts with BAD, BOK, BIK and BFM By similarity. Interacts with PMAIP1. Isoform 1 interacts with BAX, BAK1, TPT1 and BCL2L11. Heterodimer of isoform 1 and isoform 2. Homodimers of isoform 1 or isoform 2 are not detected. Isoform 2 does not interact with pro-apoptototic BCL2-related proteins. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass membrane protein Potential. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Nucleus › nucleoplasm. Note: Cytoplasmic, associated with mitochondria. INDUCTION: Expression increases early during phorbol-ester induced differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage pathway in myeloid leukemia cell lines mL-1. Rapidly up-regulated by CSF2 in mL-1 cells. Up-regulated by heat-shock induced differentiation. Expression increases early during retinoic acid-induced differentiation. PTM: Cleaved by CASP3 during apoptosis. In intact cells cleavage occurs preferentially after Asp-127, yielding a pro-apoptotic 28 kDa C-terminal fragment. Rapidly degraded in the absence of phosphorylation on Thr-163 in the PEST region. Phosphorylated on Thr-163. Treatment with taxol or okadaic acid induces phosphorylation on additional sites. SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the Bcl-2 family. |
