Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-like Protein MLKL Breaks Down Myelin following Nerve Injury.

Molecular cell | 2018

Successful regeneration of severed peripheral nerves requires the breakdown and subsequent clearance of myelin, tightly packed membrane sheaths of Schwann cells that protect nerve fibers and harbor nerve growth-inhibitory proteins. How Schwann cells initiate myelin breakdown in response to injury is still largely unknown. Here we report that, following sciatic nerve injury, MLKL, a pseudokinase known to rupture cell membranes during necroptotic cell death, is induced and targets the myelin sheath membrane of Schwann cells to promote myelin breakdown. The function of MLKL in disrupting myelin sheaths requires injury-induced phosphorylation of serine 441, an activation signal distinct from the necroptosis-inducing phosphorylation by RIP3 kinase. Mice with Mlkl specifically knocked out in Schwann cells showed delayed myelin sheath breakdown. Lack of MLKL reduced nerve regeneration following injury, whereas overexpression of MLKL accelerated myelin breakdown and promoted the regeneration of axons.

Addgene (tool)

RRID:SCR_002037

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.

PRISM (tool)

RRID:SCR_005375

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 5,2022.Tool that predicts interactions between transcription factors and their regulated genes from binding motifs. Understanding vertebrate development requires unraveling the cis-regulatory architecture of gene regulation. PRISM provides accurate genome-wide computational predictions of transcription factor binding sites for the human and mouse genomes, and integrates the predictions with GREAT to provide functional biological context. Together, accurate computational binding site prediction and GREAT produce for each transcription factor: 1. putative binding sites, 2. putative target genes, 3. putative biological roles of the transcription factor, and 4. putative cis-regulatory elements through which the factor regulates each target in each functional role.
