Switch #:
SWTI000462
Switch type:
Binary
Switch subtype:
Physicochemical compatibility

Description:
Phosphorylation of T56 by Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8) in the Dynein-binding motif of Isoform Bim(L) of Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BCL2L11) inhibits binding to Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic (DYNLL1). Most Bim in healthy cells is sequestered away bound to light chain dynein molecules. Cells exposed to environmental stress up-regulate c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) that phosphorylates both Bim and Bmf, releasing them from motor complexes and promoting apoptosis.

Participants:
(1) Isoform Bim(L) of Bcl-2-like protein 11 (BCL2L11)
(2) Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic (DYNLL1)
