Chai et al., Nature 2000

Smac/DIABLO promotes not only the proteolytic activation of procaspase-3 but also the enzymatic activity of mature

inhibiting its
caspase-inhibitory activity

Smac/DIABLO in response to the same stimuli was
blocked by a broad-spectrum
caspase inhibitor
Sun et al., J Biol Chem 2002

However, since
Smac alone was
sufficient to promote
caspase-3 activity in vitro by inactivating XIAP, we proposed the existence of a death receptor induced, Smac dependent and apoptosome independent pathway
