MIND bomb 2 prevents RIPK1 kinase activity-dependent and -independent apoptosis through ubiquitylation of cFLIPL
Abstract
Nakabayashi et al find that the E3 ligase MIB2 ubiquitylates the apoptosis-inhibitor cFLIP and that deletion of MIB2 enhances both RIPK1 kinase-dependent and -independent apoptosis through an increase in RIPK1 kinase activity and impairment of ubiquitylation of cFLIPL, respectively.
