Scythe protein (also known as BAT3 and HLA-B-associated transcript 3) is an apoptotic regulator that is highly conserved in eukaryotes and contains a ubiquitin-like domain near its N-terminus. It binds Reaper, a potent apoptotic inducer, as well as Hid and Grim. Scythe and Reaper are thought to signal apoptosis, in part through regulating the folding and activity of apoptotic signaling molecules. Scythe regulates apoptosis-inducing factor stability during endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis. It interacts with transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) receptors and enhances TGF-beta1-induced type I collagen expression in mesangial cells. With SET1A, Scythe forms a complex with CTCFL/BORIS to modulate H3K4 histone dimethylation and gene expression. Scythe is essential for p300-mediated acetylation of p53. Scythe/BAT3 is identified as a critical regulator of Hsp70-2 in spermatogenesis, thereby providing a possible molecular target in idiopathic male infertility. The human Scythe/BAT3 ortholog in rodents is predominantly and developmentally expressed in testis.
