Ripk1K376R/K376R mutation increases RIPK1 kinase activity. a Immortalized Ripk1+/+, Ripk1K376R/K376R, and Ripk1−/− MEFs were treated for the indicated time with TNFα (20 ng/ml). The K63-ubiquitylated proteins were isolated by K63-TUBEs and analyzed by western blot. b TNF-RSC was immunoprecipitated using anti-Flag resin in Ripk1+/+ and Ripk1K376R/K376R immortalized MEFs treated for the indicated time with Flag-TNFα (100 ng/ml). The immunocomplexes were analyzed by western blot with indicated antibodies. c Nuclear extracts were collected from Ripk1+/+, Ripk1K376R/K376R, and Ripk1−/− immortalized MEFs treated with TNFα (20 ng/ml) at indicated times and analyzed by western blotting with antibodies against p65 and PCNA. d Ripk1+/+ and Ripk1K376R/K376R immortalized MEFs that stably expressed with the Flag-tagged IκBα-SR were stimulated with TNFα (40 ng/ml) for different periods of time. Cell death was measured by SytoxGreen positivity. e, f Complex II was immunoprecipitated using RIPK1 antibody (e) or RIPK3 antibody (f) in Ripk1+/+, Ripk1K376R/K376R, and Ripk1−/− immortalized MEFs treated for the indicated time with TSZ (e) or TZ (f). The immunocomplexes were analyzed by western blotting with indicated antibodies. T, TNFα (20 ng/ml); S, Smac mimetics (1 μM); Z, zVAD.fmk (1 μM). g Ripk1+/+ and Ripk1K376R/K376R immortalized MEFs that expressed with the Flag-tagged TAK1/TAB1 or TAK1-∆N were stimulated with TNFα (20 ng/ml) plus zVAD.fmk (10 μM) for different periods of time. The cell lysates were analyzed by western blotting with indicated antibodies. h Cell death of Ripk1+/+ and Ripk1K376R/K376R immortalized MEFs treated for 5 h with different stimulators was measured by SytoxGreen positivity. T: TNFα (20 ng/ml), Z: zVAD.fmk (10 μM), TAK1i: TAK1 inhibitor (500 μM), IKKi: IKK inhibitor(5 μM), MK2i: MK2 inhibitor (2 μM). In d, h, data are mean ± s.e.m. (n = 3 independent cell samples for each genotype). Statistical significance was determined using a two-tailed unpaired t test, n.s., P > 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001
