Structural highlights
FunctionBIRC2_HUMAN Multi-functional protein which regulates not only caspases and apoptosis, but also modulates inflammatory signaling and immunity, mitogenic kinase signaling, and cell proliferation, as well as cell invasion and metastasis. Acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase regulating NF-kappa-B signaling and regulates both canonical and non-canonical NF-kappa-B signaling by acting in opposite directions: acts as a positive regulator of the canonical pathway and suppresses constitutive activation of non-canonical NF-kappa-B signaling. The target proteins for its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity include: RIPK1, RIPK2, RIPK3, RIPK4, CASP3, CASP7, CASP8, TRAF2, DIABLO/SMAC, MAP3K14/NIK, MAP3K5/ASK1, IKBKG/NEMO and MXD1/MAD1. Can also function as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase of the NEDD8 conjugation pathway, targeting effector caspases for neddylation and inactivation. Acts as an important regulator of innate immune signaling via regulation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), Nodlike receptors (NLRs) and RIG-I like receptors (RLRs), collectively referred to as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Protects cells from spontaneous formation of the ripoptosome, a large multi-protein complex that has the capability to kill cancer cells in a caspase-dependent and caspase-independent manner. Suppresses ripoptosome formation by ubiquitinating RIPK1 and CASP8. Can stimulate the transcriptional activity of E2F1. Plays a role in the modulation of the cell cycle.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedUbiquitin (Ub)-conjugating enzymes and Ub ligases control protein degradation and regulate many cellular processes in eukaryotes. Cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1 (cIAP1) plays a central role in apoptosis and tumor necrosis factor signaling. It harbors a C-terminal RING domain that homodimerizes to recruit E2~Ub (~ denotes a thioester bond) complex to catalyze Ub transfer. Non-covalent Ub binding to the backside of the E2 Ub-conjugating enzyme UbcH5 has previously been shown to enhance RING domain activity, but the molecular basis for this enhancement is unclear. To investigate how dimeric cIAP1 RING activates E2~Ub for Ub transfer and what role non-covalently bound Ub has in Ub transfer, here we determined the crystal structure of the cIAP1 RING dimer bound to both UbcH5B covalently-linked to Ub (UbcH5B-Ub) and a non-covalent Ub to 1.7 A resolution. The structure along with biochemical analyses revealed that the cIAP1 RING domain interacts with UbcH5B-Ub and thereby promotes the formation of a closed UbcH5B-Ub conformation that primes the thioester bond for Ub transfer. We observed that the non-covalent Ub binds to the backside of UbcH5B and abuts UbcH5B's alpha1beta1-loop, which, in turn, stabilizes the closed UbcH5B-Ub conformation. Our results disclose the mechanism by which cIAP1 RING dimer activates UbcH5B~Ub and indicate that non-covalent Ub binding further stabilizes the cIAP1-UbcH5B~Ub complex in the active conformation to stimulate Ub transfer.
