HSP70 promotes MLKL polymerization and necroptosis [PDF]
Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is the proposed executioner of necroptosis. Our recent findings identify a novel inhibitor necroptosis-blocking compound 1 (NBC1) which specifically conjugates to two cysteines of heat shock protein 70 ...

Interferons Transcriptionally Up-Regulate MLKL Expression in Cancer Cells
Interferons (IFNs) are key players in the tumor immune response and act by inducing the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs). Here, we identify the mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) as an ISG in various cancer cell lines.

MLKL Compromises Plasma Membrane Integrity by Binding to Phosphatidylinositol Phosphates
Although mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) protein has emerged as a specific and crucial protein for necroptosis induction, how MLKL transduces the death signal remains poorly understood.

Oligomerization‐driven MLKL ubiquitylation antagonizes necroptosis [PDF]
AbstractMixed lineage kinase domain‐like (MLKL) is the executioner in the caspase‐independent form of programmed cell death called necroptosis. Receptor‐interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) phosphorylates MLKL, triggering MLKL oligomerization, membrane translocation and membrane disruption.

The molecular mechanisms of MLKL-dependent and MLKL-independent necrosis [PDF]
AbstractNecrosis, a type of unwanted and passive cell demise, usually occurs under the excessive external stress and is considered to be unregulated. However, under some special conditions such as caspase inhibition, necrosis is regulable in a well-orchestrated way.

Cytotoxicity of crystals involves RIPK3-MLKL-mediated necroptosis [PDF]
AbstractCrystals cause injury in numerous disorders, and induce inflammation via the NLRP3 inflammasome, however, it remains unclear how crystals induce cell death. Here we report that crystals of calcium oxalate, monosodium urate, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and cystine trigger caspase-independent cell death in five different cell types, which is ...

MLKL D144K mutation activates the necroptotic activity of the N-terminal MLKL domain [PDF]
AbstractMixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is an essential effector protein of necroptotic cell death. The four-helix bundle domain (4HB) presented by the first 125 amino acids of the N-terminal domain is sufficient for its necroptotic activity. However, it has been proposed that the subsequent helix H6 of the brace region has a regulatory

Autophosphorylation at serine 166 regulates RIP kinase 1-mediated cell death and inflammation [PDF]
Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) regulates cell death and inflammatory responses downstream of TNFR1 and other receptors, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and degenerative diseases.

Sensing of endogenous nucleic acids by ZBP1 induces keratinocyte necroptosis and skin inflammation [PDF]
Aberrant detection of endogenous nucleic acids by the immune system can cause inflammatory disease. The scaffold function of the signaling kinase RIPK1 limits spontaneous activation of the nucleic acid sensor ZBP1.
