Background: Livin

Livin alpha and Livin beta are two splice variants generated from the Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 7 (BIRC7) gene.  Livin in a member of the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) family that contains a single baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) and a C-terminal RING domain.  Livin exerts an anti-apoptotic activity by inhibiting caspase's 3, 7, and 9, and by its E3 Ubiquitin ligase activity.  In vitro, Livin directly inhibits caspase 3 and proteolytic activation of pro-caspase 9, and ubiquitinates recombinant DIABLO.  Livin alpha is a splice variant that's 18 amino acids longer in the BIR-RING linking region than the Livin beta splice variant.
