Human cytochrome c oxidase subunit VIa polypeptide 1 (COX6A1) was identified as a novel Suppressor of Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax)-mediated cell death using yeast-based functional screening of a mammalian cDNA library. The overexpression of COX6A1 significantly suppressed Bax- and N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR)-induced apoptosis in yeast and human glioblastoma-derived U373MG cells, respectively. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to Bax or 4-HPR was inhibited in yeast and U373MG cells that expressed COX6A1, indicating that COX6A1 exerts a protective effect against ROS-induced cell damage. 4-HPR-induced mitochondrial translocation of Bax, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, and activation of caspase-3 were markedly attenuated in U373MG cells that stably expressed COX6A1. Our results demonstrate that yeast-based functional screening of human genes for inhibitors of Bax-sensitivity in yeast identified a protein that not only suppresses the toxicity of Bax in yeast, but also has a potential role in protecting mammalian cells from 4-HPR-induced apoptosis.
