Abl and Cell Death

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit ((MBIU))

Abstract

The Abl tyrosine kinase contains nuclear-import and -export signals and undergoes nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling in proliferating cells. The nuclear Abl is activated by DNA damage or tumor necrosis factor to promote cell death through transcription-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The oncogenic BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase is defective in nuclear import and functions as an inhibitor of apoptosis in the cytoplasm. If allowed to function in the nucleus, BCR-ABL also induces cell death. Abl interacts with several different types of death effectors. However, the precise mechanism by which Abl tyrosine kinase regulates cell death remains to be determined.
