Cell death-inducing
DFF45-like effector (CIDE)-B is a member of the
novel family of apoptosis-inducing factors that share homology with the
N-terminal region of DFF, the DNA fragmentation factor. The molecular
mechanism of CIDE-B-induced apoptosis is unclear. We have shown here
that CIDE-B protein is localized in mitochondria and forms homodimers
and heterodimers with other family members. Serial deletion analyses
suggest that the mitochondria localization signal and dimerization
interface are overlapped and localized to the 30 amino acid residues at
the C-terminal region of CIDE-B. Mitochondria localization and
dimerization are both required for CIDE-B-induced apoptosis. Our study
has thus revealed a mechanism for CIDE-B-induced apoptosis by
localization to mitochondria and the formation of a high affinity homo-
or heterodimeric complex.
