We have isolated a novel cDNA that encodes a product showing significant sequence homology (56% identity) to human NIP3, a protein thought to interact with adenovirus E1B19kD and human BCL2 proteins. This cDNA contains an open reading frame of 657 nucleotides encoding a 219 amino acid polypeptide. The gene, designated BNIP3L, was expressed in all 16 normal human tissues examined; we mapped it to chromosome band 8p21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Introduction of the BNIP3L gene into six different cancer-cell lines caused significant growth suppression in each of them, while no such effect occurred when the antisense cDNA or the vector DNA was transfected, indicating that BNIP3L may function as a tumor suppressor.
