Abstract
The pseudokinase MLKL (mixed lineage kinase domain-like), has recently emerged as a critical component of the necroptosis cell death pathway. Although it is clear that phosphorylation of the activation loop in the MLKL pseudokinase domain by the upstream protein kinase RIPK3 (receptor-interacting protein kinase-3), is crucial to trigger MLKL activation, it has remained unclear whether other phosphorylation events modulate MLKL function. By reconstituting Mlkl(-/-), Ripk3(-/-) and Mlkl(-/-)Ripk3(-/-) cells with MLKL phospho-site mutants, we compared the function of known MLKL phosphorylation sites in regulating necroptosis with three phospho-sites that we identified by MS, Ser(158), Ser(228) ..
