Structural basis for SMAC-mediated antagonism of caspase inhibition by the giant ubiquitin ligase BIRC6

Certain Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) family members are sentinel proteins preventing untimely cell death by inhibiting caspases. Antagonists including second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase (SMAC) regulate IAPs, driving cell death. Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 6 (BIRC6), a gi...
