Abstract: Objective · To explore the kinase activity of novel receptor interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) mutants. Methods · The four amino acids (Q84WDF87) of RIPK3 were mutated respectively and these mutants were co-transfected with mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase (MLKL) into HEK293T cells. The auto-phosphorylation of these mutants at S232 and phosphorylation of MLKL at S345 were detectedWestern blotting. The interaction between RIPK3 and MLKL was testedco-immunoprecipitation. The oligomerization of MLKL was detectednon-reducing gel. Results · The kinase activities of RIPK3ΔQ84, RIPK3ΔW85 and RIPK3ΔD86 were effectively decreased. Nevertheless, the kinase activities of RIPK3Q84A/RIPK3Q84E, RIPK3W85Y and RIPK3D86A/RIPK3D86Y did not change markedly. The auto-phosphorylation of RIPK3W85A at S232 was decreased without affecting phosphorylation and oligomerization of MLKL. Conclusion · The amino acid site Q84, W85 or D86 plays a critical role in RIPK3 kinase activity. The kinase activity of RIPK3W85A is decreased, but it does not affect MLKL.
