Viral MLKL Homologs Subvert Necroptotic Cell Death by Sequestering Cellular RIPK3
Summary: Necroptotic cell death has been implicated in many human pathologies and is thought to have evolved as an innate immunity mechanism.The pathway relies on two key effectors: the kinase receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and the terminal effector, the pseudokinase mixed-lineage kinase-domain-like (MLKL).We identify proteins with h
