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
Designed second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac) mimetics based on an accessible [7,5]-bicyclic scaffold bind to and antagonize protein interactions involving the inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins, X-chromosome-linked IAP (XIAP), melanoma IAP (ML-IAP), and c-IAPs 1 and 2 (cIAP1 and cIAP2). The design rationale is based on a combination of phage-panning data, peptide binding studies, and a survey of potential isosteres. The synthesis of two scaffolds is described. These compounds bind the XIAP-baculoviral IAP repeat 3 (BIR3), cIAP1-BIR3, cIAP2-BIR3, and ML-IAP-BIR domains with submicromolar affinities. The most potent Smac mimetic binds the cIAP1-BIR3 and ML-IAP-BIR domains with a K i of 50 nM. The X-ray crystal structure of this compound bound to an ML-IAP/XIAP chimeric BIR domain protein is compared with that of a complex with a phage-derived tetrapeptide, AVPW. The structures show that these compounds bind to the Smac-binding site on ML-IAP with identical hydrogen-bonding patterns and similar hydrophobic interactions. Consistent with the structural data, coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate that the compounds can effectively block Smac interactions with ML-IAP. The compounds are further demonstrated to activate caspase-3 and -7, to reduce cell viability in assays using MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and A2058 melanoma cells, and to enhance doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells.
