N2 - Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1) is an evolutionarily conserved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that suppresses cell death in both animal and plant cells. We characterized mice in which the bi-1 gene was ablated. Cells from BI-1-deficient mice, including fibroblasts, hepatocytes, and neurons, display selective hypersensitivity to apoptosis induced by ER stress agents (thapsigargin, tunicamycin, brefeldin A), but not to stimulators of mitochondrial or TNF/Fas-death receptor apoptosis pathways. Conversely, BI-1 overexpression protects against apoptosis induced by ER stress. BI-1-mediated protection from apoptosis induced by ER stress correlated with inhibition of Bax activation and translocation to mitochondria, preservation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and suppression of caspase activation. BI-1 overexpression also reduces releasable Ca2+ from the ER. In vivo, bi-1-/- mice exhibit increased sensitivity to tissue damage induced by stimuli that trigger ER stress, including stroke and tunicamycin injection. Thus, BI-1 regulates a cell death pathway important for cytopreservation during ER stress.
