TLDR
The modification of RIP1 may provide a unique 'ubiquitin code' that determines whether a cell activates nuclear factor-κB to promote inflammatory signalling or induces cell death by apoptosis or necroptosis.
Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) kinase has emerged as a key upstream regulator that controls inflammatory signalling as well as the activation of multiple cell death pathways, including apoptosis and necroptosis. The ability of RIP1 to modulate these key cellular events is tightly controlled by ubiquitylation, deubiquitylation and the interaction of RIP1 with a class of ubiquitin receptors. The modification of RIP1 may thus provide a unique 'ubiquitin code' that determines whether a cell activates nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) to promote inflammatory signalling or induces cell death by apoptosis or necroptosis. Targeting RIP1 might be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of both acute and chronic human diseases.

Old, new and emerging functions of caspases.

TL;DR: Caspase-2 has emerged as a unique caspase with potential roles in maintaining genomic stability, metabolism, autophagy and aging, and some of these less studied and emerging functions of mammalian caspases are focused on.

Apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, and cancer metastasis

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent advances in the understanding of the mechanisms by which key regulators of apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis participate in cancer metastasis and discusses the crosstalk between apoptosis-autophagy-and-novoptosis involved in the regulation of cancer metastatic processes.

Targeting Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Cancer.

TL;DR: Clinical trials with therapeutic agents that promote phagocytosis or suppress survival, proliferation, trafficking, or polarization of TAMs are currently underway, and early results offer the promise of improved cancer outcomes.

Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls

TL;DR: This study has demonstrated that careful use of a shared control group represents a safe and effective approach to GWA analyses of multiple disease phenotypes; generated a genome-wide genotype database for future studies of common diseases in the British population; and shown that, provided individuals with non-European ancestry are excluded, the extent of population stratification in theBritish population is generally modest.

Induction of TNF Receptor I-Mediated Apoptosis via Two Sequential Signaling Complexes

TL;DR: TNFR1-mediated-signal transduction includes a checkpoint, resulting in cell death (via complex II) in instances where the initial signal fails to be activated, and the cell survives.

Chemical inhibitor of nonapoptotic cell death with therapeutic potential for ischemic brain injury

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that necroptosis contributes to delayed mouse ischemic brain injury in vivo through a mechanism distinct from that of apoptosis and offers a new therapeutic target for stroke with an extended window for neuroprotection.

TAK1 is a ubiquitin-dependent kinase of MKK and IKK

TL;DR: The purification and identification of TRIKA2, which is composed of TAK1, TAB1 and TAB2, a protein kinase complex previously implicated in IKK activation through an unknown mechanism, indicate that ubiquitination has an important regulatory role in stress response pathways, including those of IKK and JNK.

Phosphorylation-Driven Assembly of the RIP1-RIP3 Complex Regulates Programmed Necrosis and Virus-Induced Inflammation

TL;DR: The findings suggest that RIP3 controls programmed necrosis by initiating the pronecrotic kinase cascade, and that this is necessary for the inflammatory response against virus infections.
