Understanding the molecular mechanism of pathogenic variants of BIR2 domain in XIAP-deficient inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT: X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) deficiency causes refractory inflammatory bowel disease. The XIAP protein plays a pivotal role in the pro-inflammatory response through the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing signaling pathway that is important in mucosal homeostasis. We analyzed the molecular mechanism of non-synonymous pathogenic variants (PVs) of XIAP BIR2 domain. We generated N-terminally green fluorescent protein-tagged XIAP constructs of representative non-synonymous PVs. Co-immunoprecipitation and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy showed that wild-type XIAP and RIP2 preferentially interacted in live cells, whereas all non-synonymous PV XIAPs failed to interact properly with RIP2. Structural analysis showed that various structural changes by m
