Disease Info

N-terminal regulatory region	Contains multiple serine phosphorylation sites that modulate BNIP1 activity and localization in response to cellular stress signals.
C-terminal domain	Faces the lumen of organelles and contains sites for potential post-translational modifications.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)	The predominant localization site, where BNIP1 regulates ER morphology and calcium homeostasis
Outer mitochondrial membrane	Through ER-mitochondria contact sites (MAMs), BNIP1 influences mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy
Nuclear envelope	Connected to ER network and involved in nuclear pore complex function
Mitochondrial fusion	BNIP1 influences fusion by modulating the activity of mitofusins (MFN1/2) and OPA1. Under basal conditions, BNIP1 helps maintain the balance between fission and fusion.
ER-mitochondria contact sites	BNIP1 localizes to mitochondria-ER contact sites (MERCs) where it regulates calcium exchange and phospholipid exchange between organelles[@xu2019].
Selective mitophagy	BNIP1 facilitates the engulfment of damaged mitochondria by autophagosomes. BNIP1-mediated mitophagy removes dysfunctional mitochondria, maintaining cellular homeostasis.
General autophagy	Beyond mitophagy, BNIP1 contributes to general autophagic flux, particularly under stress conditions.
NK cell maturation	In immune cells, BNIP1-mediated mitophagy supports natural killer cell development, though this function is less relevant to neurodegeneration[@wang2021].
Synaptic maintenance	BNIP1 helps maintain synaptic integrity by regulating mitochondrial quality control at synapses
Calcium homeostasis	BNIP1 participates in ER-mitochondria calcium signaling, which is crucial for synaptic transmission
Databases	OMIM Orphanet ClinicalTrials PubMed
