摘要
BIR domain and its containing proteins play critical roles in cell apoptosis and cell division. Here several lines of novelty were revealed based on a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of BIR domains in 11 representative organisms. First, the type II BIR domains in Survivin and Bruce showed more conservation compared with the type I BIR domains in the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs). Second, cIAP was derived from a XIAP duplicate and emerged just after the divergence of invertebrates and vertebrates. Third, the three BIR domains of NAIP displayed significantly elevated evolutionary rates compared with the BIR domains in other IAPs. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier B.
