RIP1 is system abnormalities. Here we show that RIP1 K45A (kinase dead) essential for TNF-induced necroptosis but dispensable for other knockin mice develop normally into adulthood, indicating that devel- forms of RIP3 kinase-dependent death (10, 11). Oligomerization of opment does not require RIP1 kinase activity. In the face of complete RIP1 through either domain promotes activation of its N-terminal RIP1 deficiency, cells develop sensitivity to RIP3-mixed lineage kinase serine/threonine kinase and triggers either of two distinct cell death domain-like–mediated necroptosis as well as to Casp8-mediated apo- pathways: (i) apoptosis following assembly of a cytosolic FADD– ptosis activated by diverseinnateimmunestimuli(e.g.,TNF,IFN,dou- Casp8–cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (cFLIP)-containing ble-stranded RNA).

Surprisingly, In addition to death, RIP1 activation downstream of either triple knockout mice with combined RIP1, RIP3, and Casp8 deficiency TNFR1 or TNFR2 facilitates prosurvival NF-κB gene expression develop into viable and fertile adults, with the capacity to produce contingent on the balance of ubiquitination and deubiquitination normal levels of myeloid and lymphoid lineage cells.
