Diablo homolog, is a mitochondrial protein that in humans is encoded by the DIABLO gene (direct IAP binding protein with low pI).[1][2][3] DIABLO is also referred to as second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases or SMAC.

Function

SMAC is a mitochondrial protein that promotes cytochrome-c dependent activation by eliminating the effect of inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) – a protein that negatively regulates apoptosis, programmed cell death.[4] SMAC is normally a mitochondrial protein, but it is found in the cytosol when a cell is primed for apoptosis during the final execution step of caspase activation. SMAC is the second protein in the apoptosis link, along with cytochrome c, that promotes apoptosis by activating caspases.

SMAC is an inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP)-binding protein. This mitochondrial protein enters the cytosol when cells undergo apoptosis, and it moderates the caspase inhibition of IAPs.

Gene

Multiple polyadenylation sites have been found for this gene. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms have been described for this gene but the validity of some transcripts, and their predicted ORFs, has not been determined conclusively.[3]

Interactions

Diablo homolog has been shown to interact with:
