From the Departments of Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) physically
interact with a variety of pro-apoptotic proteins and inhibit apoptosis
induced by diverse stimuli. X-linked IAP (X-IAP) is a prototype IAP
family member that inhibits several caspases, the effector proteases of
apoptosis. The inhibitory activity of X-IAP is regulated by SMAC, a
protein that is processed to its active form upon receipt of a death
stimulus. Cleaved SMAC binds X-IAP and antagonizes its anti-apoptotic
activity. Here we show that melanoma IAP (ML-IAP), a potent anti-cell
death protein and caspase inhibitor, physically interacts with SMAC
through its BIR (baculovirus IAP repeat) domain. In addition to binding
full-length SMAC, ML-IAP BIR associates with SMAC peptides that are
derived from the amino terminus of active, processed SMAC. This high
affinity interaction is very specific and can be completely abolished
by single amino acid mutations either in the amino terminus of active
SMAC or in the BIR domain of ML-IAP. In cells expressing ML-IAP and
X-IAP, SMAC coexpression or addition of SMAC peptides abrogates the
ability of the IAPs to inhibit cell death. These results demonstrate
the feasibility of using SMAC peptides as a way to sensitize
IAP-expressing cells to pro-apoptotic stimuli such as chemotherapeutic agents.
