Necrostatin-5 is an inhibitor of necroptosis (non-apoptotic cell death pathway) by indirect inhibition of RIP1 kinase.
Necrostatin-5 is an inhibitor of necroptosis (non-apoptotic cell death pathway) by indirect inhibition of RIP1 kinase. Necroptosis is defined as alternative active cell death pathway: Death-Domain Receptor (DRs, e.g. Fas/TNFR) mediated and caspase-inhibitor insensitive with specific morphology (nuclear condensation, organelle swelling, loss of plasma membrane integrity). The necrostatins have been discovered to inhibit this pathway by inhibition of the death domain receptor-associated adaptor kinase RIP1. Three distinct mechanisms appear to be involved: T-loop dependent inhibition by necrostatin-1; partially T-loop independent inhibition by necrostatin-3 and indirect inhibition of RIP1 by necrostatin-5, since necrostatin-5 is a potent inhibitor of immunnoprecipitated RIP1, but does not inhibit recombinant RIP1.
Published data for the Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factor Pneumolysin (Ply) show contradictory effects on the host inflammatory response to infection. Ply has been shown to activate the inflammasome, but also can bind to MRC-1 resulting in suppression of dendritic cell
