Function
[BIRC7_HUMAN] Apoptotic regulator capable of exerting proapoptotic and anti-apoptotic activities and plays crucial roles in apoptosis, cell proliferation, and cell cycle control. Its anti-apoptotic activity is mediated through the inhibition of CASP3, CASP7 and CASP9, as well as by its E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. As it is a weak caspase inhibitor, its anti-apoptotic activity is thought to be due to its ability to ubiquitinate DIABLO/SMAC targeting it for degradation thereby promoting cell survival. May contribute to caspase inhibition, by blocking the ability of DIABLO/SMAC to disrupt XIAP/BIRC4-caspase interactions. Protects against apoptosis induced by TNF or by chemical agents such as adriamycin, etoposide or staurosporine. Suppression of apoptosis is mediated by activation of MAPK8/JNK1, and possibly also of MAPK9/JNK2. This activation depends on TAB1 and NR2C2/TAK1. In vitro, inhibits CASP3 and proteolytic activation of pro-CASP9. Isoform 1 blocks staurosporine-induced apoptosis. Isoform 2 blocks etoposide-induced apoptosis. Isoform 2 protects against natural killer (NK) cell killing whereas isoform 1 augments killing.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Melanoma inhibitor of apoptosis (ML-IAP) is a potent anti-apoptotic protein that is upregulated in a number of melanoma cell lines but not expressed in most normal adult tissues. Overexpression of IAP proteins, such as ML-IAP or the ubiquitously expressed X-chromosome-linked IAP (XIAP), in human cancers has been shown to suppress apoptosis induced by a variety of stimuli. Peptides based on the processed N-terminus of Smac/DIABLO can negate the ability of overexpressed ML-IAP or XIAP to suppress drug-induced apoptosis. Such peptides have been demonstrated to bind to the single baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) of ML-IAP and the third BIR of XIAP with similar high affinities (approximately 0.5 microM). Herein, we use phage-display of naive peptide libraries and synthetic peptides to investigate the peptide-binding properties of ML-IAP-BIR and XIAP-BIR3. X-ray crystal structures of ML-IAP-BIR in complex with Smac- and phage-derived peptides, together with peptide structure-activity-relationship data, indicate that the peptides can be modified to provide increased binding affinity and selectivity for ML-IAP-BIR relative to XIAP-BIR3. For instance, substitution of Pro3' in the Smac-based peptide (AVPIAQKSE) with (2S,3S)-3-methylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid [(3S)-methyl-proline] results in a peptide with 7-fold greater affinity for ML-IAP-BIR and about 100-fold specificity for ML-IAP-BIR relative to XIAP-BIR3.
