9 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
The proteolytic activity of caspases is tightly controlled by the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family that has evolved to protect cells from unwanted self-execution by fortuitous activation of the death cascade. Survivin is a 17 kD protein that contains only a single BIR and no RING domain. It stands out for its close association with cancer where its expression correlates with drug resistance and poor...
