Bax is a proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 protein family that commits the cell to undergo
programmed cell death in response to apoptotic stimuli. To gain further insights into Bax
mechanisms, we have identified a novel Bax-binding protein, termed Bif-1, by using a yeast
two-hybrid cloning technique. Bif-1 is an evolutionarily conserved cytoplasmic protein that
contains a predicted Src homology 3 (SH3) domain located near its C terminus but shares
no significant homology with members of the Bcl-2 family. A Northern blot analysis indicates …
