Popis: The pseudokinase MLKL is activated by the upstream kinase RIPK3 in the necroptotic pathway but the structural basis of MLKL activation is not well understood yet. Here, the authors present the crystal structures of the human RIPK3:MLKL complex and human RIPK3 kinase alone, which reveal structural differences between human and murine RIPK3 and they discuss mechanistic implications.
