Abstract excerpt
MLKL is crucial for necroptosis, permeabilizing membranes through its N-terminal region upon phosphorylation of its kinase-like domain by RIP3. However, the mechanism underlying membrane permeabilization is unknown. The solution structure of the MLKL N-terminal region determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy reveals a four-helix bundle with an additional helix at the top that is likely key for MLKL...
