Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of IAP recognition by Smac/DIABLO

TL;DR: The high-resolution crystal structure of Smac/DIABLO complexed with the third BIR domain (BIR3) of XIAP is reported, revealing how Smac may relieve IAP inhibition of caspase-9 activity and identifies potential targets for drug screening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and biochemical basis of apoptotic activation by Smac/DIABLO.

TL;DR: It is shown that Smac/DIABLO promotes not only the proteolytic activation of procaspase-3 but also the enzymatic activity of mature caspases, both of which depend upon its ability to interact physically with IAPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structure of a UBP-Family Deubiquitinating Enzyme in Isolation and in Complex with Ubiquitin Aldehyde

TL;DR: In this paper, the crystal structures of the 40 kDa catalytic core domain of HAUSP in isolation and in complex with ubiquitin aldehyde were reported, showing that the UBP deubiquitinating enzymes exhibit a conserved three-domain architecture, comprising Fingers, Palm and Thumb.
Journal ArticleDOI

The lysosomal v-ATPase-Ragulator complex is a common activator for AMPK and mTORC1, acting as a switch between catabolism and anabolism.

TL;DR: This study found that the late endosomal/lysosomal protein complex v-ATPase-Ragulator, essential for activation of mTORC1, is also required for AMPK activation and uncovered that AMPK is a residential protein of late endo-lysosome.
