SURVIVIN DIMER H. SAPIENS
Overview
Survivin is a mitotic spindle-associated protein involved in linking, mitotic spindle function to activation of apoptosis in mammalian cells., The structure of the full-length human survivin has been determined by, X-ray crystallography to 2.7 A. Strikingly, the structure forms a very, unusual bow tie-shaped dimer. It does not dimerize through a C-terminal, coiled-coil, contrary to sequence analysis prediction. The C-terminal, helices contain hydrophobic clusters with the potential for, protein-protein interactions. The unusual shape and dimensions of survivin, suggest it serves an adaptor function through its alpha-helical, extensions.
