The peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase Pin1 and the Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein (IAP) Survivin are two major proteins involved in cancer. They both modulate apoptosis, mitosis, centrosome duplication and neuronal development but until now no functional relationship has been reported between these two proteins. We tested Pin1-induced regulation of Survivin in neuroblastoma cells. Pin1 overexpression in SY5Y neuroblastoma cells decreased Survivin levels. Immunocytochemical studies indicated that they partially co-localized in interphase and mitotic cells. Co-immunoprecipitation further demonstrates the existence of a Pin1/Survivin complex. Pin1-induced effect on Survivin was confirmed in COS cells. RT-PCR and mutagenesis experiments suggested that this Pin1-induced decrease of Survivin occurred at the protein level. Survivin downregulation depended on the binding ability of Pin1 but was not related to the single Thr-Pro site, suggesting an indirect relationship into a protein complex. Finally, this functional regulation of Survivin by Pin1 is reciprocal since Pin1 silencing led to an increase in Survivin levels. The characterization of this functional relationship between Pin1 and Survivin might help to better understand mitosis control and cancer mechanisms.
