Background

PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) belongs to pro-apoptotic members of Bcl2 family's BH3-only subgroup, and besides its most critical role as mediator of p53/TP53-dependent/-independent apoptosis, it acts as a regulator of ER stress-induced neuronal apoptosis also. PUMA is expressed ubiquitously and predominately localizes to mitochondria where it execute induction of cytochrome c release. PUMA mediates apoptosis via direct binding with anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family and is capable of interacting with MCL1, BCL2A1, BCL2 and BCL2L1/BCL-XL. PUMA binding to inhibitory members of Bcl-2 family (Bcl-2-like proteins) leads to Bax and/or Bak displacement mediated activation and formation of pore-like structures over mitochondrial membrane, which permeabilizes the outer mitochondrial membrane, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction and caspase activation. PUMA is induced by p53, DNA damage, glucocorticoid treatment, deprivation of growth factors etc. and through ER stress in a DDIT3/CHOP-dependent manner. PUMA has been reported to involve in multiple physiological and pathological processes, including immune response, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and bacterial as well as viral infections.
