| Introduction | Mcl-1 is an anti-apoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family originally isolated from the ML-1 human myeloid leukemia cell line during phorbol ester-induced differentiation along the monocyte/macrophage pathway. Similar to other Bcl-2 family members, Mcl-1 localizes to the mitochondria interacts with and antagonizes pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members and inhibits apoptosis induced by a number of cytotoxic stimuli. Mcl-1 differs from its other family members in its regulation at both the transcriptional and post-translational level. First, Mcl-1 has an extended amino-terminal PEST region, which is responsible for its relatively short half-life. Second, unlike other family members, Mcl-1 is rapidly transcribed via a PI3K/Akt dependent pathway, resulting in its increased expression during myeloid differentiation and cytokine stimulation.Mcl-1 is phosphorylated in response to treatment with phorbol ester, microtubule-damaging agents, oxidative stress, and cytokine withdrawal. Phosphorylation at Thr163, the conserved MAP kinase/ERK site located within the PEST region, slows Mcl-1 protein turnover but may prime the GSK-3 mediated phosphorylation at Ser159 that leads to Mcl-1 destabilization. Mcl-1 deficiency in mice results in peri-implantation lethality. In addition, conditional disruption of the corresponding mcl-1 gene shows that Mcl-1 plays an important role in early lymphoid development and in the maintenance of mature lymphocytes.Phosphorylation of Mcl-1 at Ser64 can target it for ubiqutination and destruction by the tumor suppressor protein FBW7 (14,15) |
