Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cell death is indispensable for normal growth and development of multicellular organisms. Caspases, the effector proteases of apoptosis are normally activated by dimerization in multimeric protein complexes and inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) function as endogenous inhibitors of caspases. Recent studies have revealed that cell death stimuli can also trigger programmed necrosis, necroptosis. Receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinase family RIP plays a crucial role in regulating the switch between apoptosis and necroptosis. Two studies now describe a novel RIP1 containing ∼2 MDa 'Ripoptosome' complex assembled in the cytosol to mediate both apoptosis and necroptosis in response to genotoxic stress and TLR3 stimulation. Intriguingly, cIAPs and XIAP function as endogenous inhibitors of Ripoptosome by direct ubiquitination of its components. These studies shed further light into the molecular mechanisms behind RIP kinase-regulated cell death and open new avenues for therapeutic intervention of various pathologies including cancer.
