Abstract excerpt
The Inhibitor of Apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are key repressors of apoptosis. Several IAP proteins contain a RING domain that functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Here we investigated the interplay of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and RING-mediated IAP turnover. We found that the CARD-RING domain of cIAP1 (cIAP1-CR) is capable of down-regulating protein levels of...
