Polycomb complex protein BMI-1 also known as polycomb group RING finger protein 4 (PCGF4) or RING finger protein 51 (RNF51) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMI1 gene (B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1).[1][2] BMI1 is a polycomb ring finger oncogene.

Function

BMI1 (B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog) has been reported as an oncogene by regulating p16 and p19, which are cell cycle inhibitor genes. Bmi1 knockout in mice results in defects in hematopoiesis, skeletal patterning, neurological functions, and development of the cerebellum. Recently it has been reported BMI1 is rapidly recruited to sites of DNA damage and it sustains for over than 8h. Loss of BMI1 leads to radiation sensitive and impaired repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination 10.

Bmi1 is necessary for efficient self-renewing cell divisions of adult hematopoietic stem cells as well as adult peripheral and central nervous system neural stem cells.[3][4] However, it is less important for the generation of differentiated progeny. Given that phenotypic changes in Bmi1 knockout mice are numerous and that Bmi1 has very broad tissue distribution, it is possible that it regulates the self-renewal of other types of somatic stem cells.[5]

Bmi1 is also thought to inhibit ageing in neurons through the suppression of p53.[6]

Structure

Bmi1 has a RING finger at the N-terminus and a central helix-turn-helix domain.[7]

Clinical significance

Overexpression of Bmi1 seems to play an important role in several types of cancer, such as bladder, skin, prostate, breast, ovarian, colorectal as well as hematological malignancies. Its amplification and overexpression is especially pronounced in mantle cell lymphomas.[8] Inhibiting BMI1 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of glioblastoma multiforme, chemoresistant ovarian cancer, prostatic, pancreatic and skin cancers.[2] Colorectal cancer stem cell self-renewal was reduced by BMI1 inhibition.[9]

Interactions

BMI1 has been shown to interact with:
