Regulation of apoptosis by XIAP ubiquitin-ligase activity

Abstract

Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) can bind to and inhibit caspases, the key executioners of apoptosis. Because IAPs are frequently overexpressed in human tumors, they have become major pharmacological targets for developing new cancer therapeutics. However, the precise physiological function of individual mammalian IAPs and their role as E3 ubiquitin-ligases in situ remain largely obscure. Here, we investigated the function of XIAP ubiquitin-ligase activity by inactivating the RING motif via gene targeting in the mouse. Removing the RING stabilized XIAP in apoptotic thymocytes, demonstrating that XIAP ubiquitin-ligase activity is a major determinant of XIAP protein stability. Surprisingly, the increased amounts of “XIAP-BIR-only” protein did not lead to attenuated but rather increased caspase activity and apoptosis. ΔRING embryonic stem cells and fibroblasts had elevated caspase-3 enzyme activity, and XIAP ΔRING embryonic fibroblasts were strongly sensitized to TNF-α-induced apoptosis. Similar results were obtained with XIAP deficient mice. Furthermore, deletion of the RING also improved the survival of mice in the Eμ-Myc lymphoma model. This demonstrates a physiological requirement of XIAP ubiquitin-ligase activity for the inhibition of caspases and for tumor suppression in vivo.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
