Recently, a BH-3 only member of the Bcl-2 family have been identified in human and mouse and designated as Noxa (for damage) (1). The expression of the Noxa gene involves direct activation of its promoter by p53. Increased expression of Noxa protein occurs in normal thymocytes but not in p53-deficient thymocytes. Noxa cDNA codes for a 103-amino acid protein. The coimmunoprecipitation data suggest that Noxa protein may interact with proteins belonging to the Bcl-2 family, such as, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1. Oda et al (1) have also shown that blocking the endogenous Noxa induction results in the suppression of apoptosis. Treatment of cells with Noxa antisense oligonucleotides blocks radiation-induced apoptosis suggesting that Noxa may represent a mediator of p53-dependent apoptosis.
