BACKGROUND Bcl10 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 10) was identified by its translocation in a case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. The protein encoded by this gene contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD), and has been shown to induce apoptosis and promote pro-caspase-9 maturation and to activate NF-kB via NIK and IKK.1 Bcl10 may be an adapter protein between upstream TNFR1-TRADD-RIP complex and the downstream NIK-IKK-IKAP complex. It is reported to interact with other CARD domain containing proteins including CARD9, 10, 11 and 14, which are thought to function as upstream regulators in NF-kB signaling.2 This protein is found to form a complex with MALT1, a protein encoded by another gene known to be translocated in MALT lymphoma. It is a substrate for MALT1. MALT1 and Bcl10 are thought to synergize in the activation of NF-kB, and the deregulation of either of them may contribute to the same pathogenetic process that leads to the malignancy.3
