Gene targeting in mice revealed important physiological roles for Bim and revealed that Bim is required for hematopoietic homeostasis and as a barrier to autoimmunity.Abstract:
Apoptosis can be triggered by members of the Bcl-2 protein family, such as Bim, that share only the BH3 domain with this family. Gene targeting in mice revealed important physiological roles for Bim. Lymphoid and myeloid cells accumulated, T cell development was perturbed, and most older mice accumulated plasma cells and succumbed to autoimmune kidney disease. Lymphocytes were refractory to apoptotic stimuli such as cytokine deprivation, calcium ion flux, and microtubule perturbation but not to others. Thus, Bim is required for hematopoietic homeostasis and as a barrier to autoimmunity. Moreover, particular death stimuli appear to activate apoptosis through distinct BH3-only proteins.read more

Control of apoptosis by the BCL-2 protein family: implications for physiology and therapy
TL;DR: The biochemical, structural and genetic studies that have clarified how the interplay between members of the BCL-2 family on mitochondria sets the apoptotic threshold are discussed, illuminating the physiological control of apoptosis, the pathological consequences of its dysregulation and the promising search for novel cancer therapies that target the BCA2 protein family.

The expanding role of mitochondria in apoptosis
TL;DR: The complexity of the apoptotic program began to increase with the discovery of Bcl-2, a gene whose product causes resistance to apoptosis in lymphocytes, and the complex role of mitochondria in apoptosis came into focus when biochemical studies identified several mitochondrial proteins that are able to activate cellular apoptotic programs directly.
