The pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bim acts as a sensor for apoptotic stimuli and initiates apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. To identify novel regulators of Bim, we employed the yeast two-hybrid system and isolated the human gene encoding macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a ubiquitously expressed proinflammatory mediator that has also been implicated in cell proliferation, the cell cycle and carcinogenesis. The interaction between MIF and Bim was confirmed by both in vitro and in vivo protein interaction assays. Intriguingly, protein complexes between MIF and the three major Bim isoforms (BimEL/BimL/BimS) could be detected in HEK293 and K562 cells, especially in cells undergoing apoptosis. Moreover, exogenous expression of MIF partially inhibited Bim-induced apoptosis in HEK293 cells. SiRNA-mediated knockdown of MIF increased apoptosis in K562 cells exposed to the chemical oxidant diamide. Endogenous MIF may regulate the pro-apoptotic activity of Bim and inhibit the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria.

F-box proteins are an expanding family of eukaryotic proteins that are characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif. Some F-box proteins are critical for the controlled degradation of cellular regulatory proteins. During a large-scale sequencing analysis of a human fetal brain cDNA library, we isolated a cDNA clone that encodes a novel F-box protein. It showed a 90.0% identity with the previously isolated mouse F-box protein16 at the amino acid level. Northern blot analysis showed no detectable expression, while re-verse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that FBXO16 was expressed in the heart, spleen, and colon. By mapping, we localized the FBXO16 gene to the human chromosome 8p12. The FBXO16 gene consisted of 9 exons that spanned 67,816 bp of human genomic DNA.
