IAPs as E3 ligases of Rac1
Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are well-studied E3 ubiquitin ligases predominantly known for regulation of apoptosis. We uncovered that IAPs can function as a direct E3 ubiquitin ligase of RhoGTPase Rac1. cIAP1 and XIAP directly conjugate polyubiquitin chains to Lysine 147 of activated Rac1 and target it for proteasomal degradation. Consistently, loss of these IAPs by various strategie...
متن کاملIAPs regulate the plasticity of cell migration by directly targeting Rac1 for degradation.
Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) are a highly conserved class of multifunctional proteins. Rac1 is a well-studied Rho GTPase that controls numerous basic cellular processes. While the regulation of nucleotide binding to Rac1 is well understood, the molecular mechanisms controlling Rac1 degradation are not known. Here, we demonstrate X-linked IAP (XIAP) and cellular IAP1 (c-IAP1) directly...
متن کاملRac1 in human diseases: The therapeutic potential of targeting Rac1 signaling regulatory mechanisms
Abnormal Rac1 signaling is linked to a number of debilitating human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. As such, Rac1 represents an attractive therapeutic target, yet the search for effective Rac1 inhibitors is still underway. Given the adverse effects associated with Rac1 signaling perturbation, cells have evolved several mechanisms to ensure th...
متن کاملLYMPHOID NEOPLASIA Rac1 targeting suppresses p53 deficiency–mediated lymphomagenesis
Mutation of the p53 tumor suppressor is associated with disease progression, therapeutic resistance, and poor prognosis in patients with lymphoid malignancies and can occur in approximately 50% of Burkitt lymphomas. Thus, new therapies are needed to specifically target p53deficient lymphomas with increased efficacy. In the current study, the specific impact of inhibition of the small GTPase Rac...
متن کاملSurvivin and the IAPs
965 Survivin is a bifunctional protein that suppresses apoptosis and regulates cell division (1). This protein has garnered great interest as a potential drug target because its expression is among the most tumor-specific of all human gene products (2). While fetal tissues contain abundant Survivin mRNA and protein, most normal adult tissues do not. In contrast, the vast majority of tumors expr...
