Disease relevance of iap

 

High impact information on iap

  • The iap genes encode a C3HC4 (or RING) finger motif found in a number of transcriptional regulatory proteins, as well as two additional Cys/His motifs (baculovirus iap repeats) [1].
  • P35 is a 35-kDa protein that can suppress apoptosis induced by virus infection or by diverse stimuli in vertebrates or invertebrates. iap homologues were identified in insects and mammals [4].
  • The only repeated ORFs are the four iap genes [5].
  • The activity of the iap genes was tested by transient expression in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf-21) cells treated with the apoptosis-inducing agents actinomycin D, cycloheximide, anisomycin, tumour necrosis factor-alpha and UV light [6].
  • Using an antisense Tn-iap probe, two major transcripts of approximately 800 nt and 1600 nt were detected by Northern blot analysis of RNA extracted from the fat body of T. ni larvae infected with the TnGV [3].
