The F-box protein Fbxo7 interacts with human inhibitor of apoptosis protein cIAP1 and promotes cIAP1 ubiquitination
Section snippets
Materials and methods
Plasmid constructs. Human cIAP1 cDNA fragment from the second BIR domain to the C-terminus (aa 183–618) was obtained by PCR amplification from human brain cDNA (BD Biosciences). The sequences of the PCR primers used are 5′-GGAATTCACTGAAGAAGCCAGATT-3′ and 5′-GGAATTCTTAAGAGAGAAATGTACG-3′. The PCR product was cut with EcoRI and inserted into the EcoRI site of the Gal4 DNA-binding domain vector pAS2-1 to generate pAS2-1-cIAP1-B2T as the bait for yeast two-hybrid screen. Human full-length cIAP1 cDNA
Identification of Fbxo7 as a cIAP1 interacting protein by yeast two-hybrid screen
In order to identify novel proteins involved in cIAP1 regulation, a yeast two-hybrid screen was performed. To avoid a transcriptional activating sequence present in cIAP1 protein (our unpublished data), the bait construct consists of the cIAP1 region from the second BIR domain to the C-terminus (aa 183–618) fused to the Gal4 DNA binding domain. A human lymphocyte Matchmaker cDNA library fused to the Gal4 activation domain was screened. Yeast colonies, which grew on media lacking Trp, Leu, and
Discussion
In this paper, we demonstrate that the inhibitor of apoptosis protein cIAP1 interacts with an F-box protein, Fbxo7. Furthermore, we show that overexpression of Fbxo7 promotes the ubiquitination of cIAP1. cIAP1 has been reported to interact with several proteins, including caspases-3 and -7, TRAF2, Smac, RIP, and IKKγ [6], [15], [16], [17], [18]. All these proteins have known functions in apoptosis signaling or execution pathways, and most of them are downstream targets subjected to cIAP1

2023, GeneCitation Excerpt :c-IAP1-mediated ubiquitination can regulate the process of apoptosis, and there is evidence that c-IAP1 itself also undergoes ubiquitination modification (Chang et al., 2006). FBXO7 overexpression promotes the ubiquitination of c-IAP1 and may be involved in the translocation of c-IAP1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in the Golgi apparatus, thereby affecting the functional regulation of c-IAP1 (Chang et al., 2006). Intriguingly, FBXO7 can promote non-degradative ubiquitination of c-IAP1, which influences the c-IAP1-associated signalling pathway.

2021, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - General SubjectsCitation Excerpt :Fbxo7 mutations promote deleterious Fbxo7 aggregation in mitochondria, contributing to cell death [22]. SCF(Fbxo7) inhibits the NF-κB (nuclear factor-κB) signaling pathway through ubiquitination of c-IAP1 (inhibitor of apoptosis) and TRAF2 [23,24]. The neurotrophin receptor-interacting MAGE protein (NRAGE), a component of bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR) signaling with XIAP–TAK1–TAB1 complex, is also poly-ubiquitinated by Fbxo7 up-regulating the NF-κB activity [25].
