Catalytic domain of the Serine/Threonine kinase, Receptor Interacting Protein 1 STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. RIP1 harbors a C-terminal Death domain (DD), which binds death receptors (DRs) including TNF receptor 1, Fas, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 1 (TRAILR1), and TRAILR2. It also interacts with other DD-containing adaptor proteins such as TRADD and FADD. RIP1 can also recruit other kinases including MEKK1, MEKK3, and RIP3 through an intermediate domain (ID) that bears a RIP homotypic interaction motif (RHIM). RIP1 plays a crucial role in determining a cell's fate, between survival or death, following exposure to stress signals. It is important in the signaling of NF-kappaB and MAPKs, and it links DR-associated signaling to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Abnormal RIP1 function may result in ROS accummulation affecting inflammatory responses, innate immunity, stress responses, and cell survival. RIP kinases serve as essential sensors of cellular stress. The RIP1 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other protein STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase. |
