Targeting XIAP for Promoting Cancer Cell Death—The Story of ARTS …
XIAP (X-linked IAP) is the only family member that suppresses apoptosis by directly binding to and inhibiting caspases. On the other hand, cIAPs suppress the activation of the extrinsic …
ARTS and Siah Collaborate in a Pathway for XIAP Degradation
Jan 7, 2011 · ARTS, a mitochondrial-localized protein, was shown to promote apoptosis by binding XIAP (Gottfried et al., 2004). Apoptotic stimuli cause the release of ARTS from …
A small-molecule ARTS mimetic promotes apoptosis through
Jun 25, 2020 · The pro-apoptotic ARTS (Sept4_i2) protein binds directly to both Bcl-2 and XIAP and promotes apoptosis by stimulating their degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system …
ARTS, an unusual septin, regulates tumorigenesis by
Aug 1, 2022 · Recent research has shown that ARTS can bind and inhibit XIAP and Bcl-2 directly or assist p53 in the degradation of Bcl-XL. Here, we review recent advances in the molecular …
Targeting XIAP for Promoting Cancer Cell Death-The Story of ARTS …
Mar 9, 2020 · ARTS can promote apoptosis by binding and degrading XIAP via the ubiquitin proteasome-system (UPS). Smac can induce the degradation of cIAPs but not XIAP. Many …
Degradation of Bcl-2 by XIAP and ARTS promotes apoptosis
Oct 10, 2017 · We show that the pro-apoptotic XIAP-antagonist ARTS is required for down-regulation of Bcl-2 levels upon induction of apoptosis. ARTS directly binds to the BH3 domain …
ARTS and small-molecule ARTS mimetics upregulate p53 levels …
Using in vivo (live-cell) and in vitro (cell-free reconstituted system) ubiquitylation assays, we show that the XIAP-antagonist ARTS regulates the levels of p53 by promoting the degradation of …
Peptides Mimicking the Unique ARTS-XIAP Binding Site Promote …
Apr 30, 2012 · Here, we investigated the ability of peptides derived from ARTS to antagonize XIAP and promote apoptosis in cancer cell lines. Experimental Design: The ability of synthetic …
ARTS and Siah Collaborate in a Pathway for XIAP Degradation
ARTS (Apoptosis-Related protein in the TGF-β Signaling pathway) is a mitochondrial protein that binds XIAP (X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein) upon entering the cytosol, thus promoting …
The IAP-antagonist ARTS initiates caspase activation upstream of ...
Aug 26, 2011 · ARTS (Sept4_i2) is a pro-apoptotic tumor suppressor protein that functions as an antagonist of X-linked IAP (XIAP) to promote apoptosis. It is generally thought that …
