CIDE-N DOMAIN OF HUMAN CIDE-B
OverviewOverview
Apoptotic DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation are mediated by the, caspase-activated DFF40/ CAD nuclease, which is chaperoned and inhibited, by DFF45/ICAD. CIDE proteins share a homologous regulatory CIDE-N domain, with DFF40/CAD and DFF45/ ICAD. Here we report the solution structure of, CIDE-N of human CIDE-B. We show that the CIDE-N of CIDE-B interacts with, CIDE-N domains of both DFF40 and DFF45. The binding epitopes are similar, and map to a highly charged bipolar surface region of CIDE-B. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the CIDE-N of CIDE-B regulates enzymatic activity of, the DFF40/ DFF45 complex in vitro. Based on these results and mutagenesis, data, we propose a model for the CIDE-N/ CIDE-N complex and discuss the, role of this novel bipolar interaction in mediating downstream events of, apoptosis.
