SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF HUMAN SURVIVIN
Structural highlights
Function[BIRC5_HUMAN] Multitasking protein that has dual roles in promoting cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis. Component of a chromosome passage protein complex (CPC) which is essential for chromosome alignment and segregation during mitosis and cytokinesis. Acts as an important regulator of the localization of this complex; directs CPC movement to different locations from the inner centromere during prometaphase to midbody during cytokinesis and participates in the organization of the center spindle by associating with polymerized microtubules. The complex with RAN plays a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules. May counteract a default induction of apoptosis in G2/M phase. The acetylated form represses STAT3 transactivation of target gene promoters. May play a role in neoplasia. Inhibitor of CASP3 and CASP7. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 do not appear to play vital roles in mitosis. Isoform 3 shows a marked reduction in its anti-apoptotic effects when compared with the displayed wild-type isoform.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedNMR studies of the antiapoptotic protein survivin have been used to determine the homodimer interface of the protein in solution and to identify residues of the protein that interact with Smac/Diablo. In solution, survivin(1-120) forms a bow-tie-shaped dimer whose interface is composed of its N-terminal residues as well as residues connecting its BIR domain to the C-terminal alpha helix. The solution structure resolves the controversy regarding the two possible dimer interfaces for survivin observed in X-ray crystal structures. The structural basis for the interaction between survivin and Smac/Diablo was also investigated. When Smac/Diablo or N-terminal Smac/Diablo peptide analogues are added to a solution of survivin, specific residues near alpha4 and beta3 are perturbed. NMR experiments indicate that the peptides bind across the third beta-strand of survivin in a manner similar to the way Smac/Diablo peptides bind to the BIR3 domain of X-linked IAP (XIAP).
