Abstract
BIRPs (BIR containing Proteins) which contain one to three BIR domains constitute a highly conserved family from yeast to human. BIR domains mediate the interaction of BIRPs with various other proteins. Some of the members acquire a Ring domain which acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The first member of BIRPs identified in the baculovirus was found as an inhibitor of apoptosis and most of the family members in the other species have been recognized to have the same function which bind to and inhibit caspases, thereby suppresses apoptotic cell death. But an increasing number of evidences indicate that BIRPs are involved in various cellular events such as cell division, control of cell cycle, signal transduction, cell migration, innate immunity as well as regulation of apoptosis. In this review, we summarize the structural and functional features of the BIRPs, especially focus on the various functions of BIRPs unrelated to regulation of apoptosis by the recent findings.
