Background

Diablo (direct IAP binding protein with low pI), also named SMAC (second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases), is a ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial protein involved in apoptosis. Under normal conditions this protein is found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. However, when a cell undergoes apoptosis, the mitochondrial membrane becomes porous and Diablo moves the cytosol. Once in the cytosol it can bind and inhibit IAPs (inhibitor of apoptosis protein) proteins, allowing caspase activation. This protein has been linked to cancer, and overexpression of Diablo may sensitize cancer cells to apoptosis. The use of Diablo mimetics, alone or in combination with other therapeutical approaches, is a promising cancer therapy.
